Chris Mathews: Rubio's Repetitive Debate Responses Were "Strange," "Not Human"

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” while discussing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) performance at Saturday’s ABC News Republican presidential debate in which he repeated several times that President Barack Obama’s policies are no accident but instead he knows exactly what he is doing, MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews called it “strange” and said it was “not a human response.”

[Mr. Mojo]

Right, but Matthews saying that Obama makes “leg” tingle is perfectly normal.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Dang, even Tingles saw Mario Robotco for what he is.
A fast talking memorization machine.

[BenLurkin]

They were all too human. As in flawed.

Thoughts & prayers w Marco Rubio’s programmers that they can fix the glitch in his data base before it overheats from repetition #GOPDebate

I think , Rubio while loop was getting incremented, they just have to add ++ good while or for condition.

[The Toll]

How can anyone think politician speak is “strange”? It’s the most common element in the universe.

[WENDLE]

I watched it strung together. It is weird to watch. I think he panicked and went into a programmed loop or “DO LOOP” in computer programming. I think he just has no independent thinking and was repeating what Karl Rove told him when he handed him the check.

[donozark]

Methinks Christie re-booted Rubio four times. Very strange to watch.

[DennisR]

Well, Matthews does know a lot about things “strange” and “not human.” After all, it is assumed he looks in the mirror every morning.

[WENDLE]

It really is strange. I am reminded of the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE film.

g, even Tingles saw Mario Robotco for what he is.

You're wondering who I am (secret secret I've got a secret)

Machine or mannequin (secret secret I've got a secret)

With parts made out of sand (secret secret I've got a secret)

I am the campaign man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin

My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised

I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to lie

To keep me alive, just keep me alive

Somewhere to hide, to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions. I'm not what you see

I've come to help you with your problems, but give out amnesty

I'm not a hero, I'm not the saviour, forget what you know

I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control

Domo arigato, Marco Roboto, domo...domo

Domo arigato, Marco Roboto,

Domo arigato, Marco. Roboto,

Domo arigato, Marco. Roboto,

LOL, beat me to it.

[dowcaet]

Watching Marco get incinerated on the stage reminds me when I was on a debate team in high school. I saw many a teammate and opponent freeze and get rattled against a more aggressive adversary. Instead of thinking on their feet and answering back they would stutter trying to recall the information they memorized while pummelled, and then regurgitating the same fact(s) over and over in a lame response. That was Rubio last night. Not a good feeling he had waking up this morning I’m sure.

[Psalm 144]

Yep. I’ve seen it happen under the basilisk stare of more than a few judges. The careful, over-elaborate, abstract argument just fades away as the speaker chokes, and all he can do is clutch at the brightest, receding bits as the argument vanishes within his mind.

[JBW1949]

Did Matthews ever see a doctor about those leg tingles?

[Steve_Seattle]

Not human? Rubio was no more robotic than Dems who incessantly repeat the phrase “common sense gun control,” to the tune of 2,570,000 hits via Bing.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Bravo!

[Steve_Seattle]

This calls to mind the old Steve Allen “man on the street bit,” in which the Tom Poston character can’t remember his own name, and in which the nervous, quivering Don Knotts character - when asked if he is nervous - blurts out “NO!!!” in a high-pitched voice. More relaxed was the Louis Nye character, sporting a rakish fedora, who always replied “Hi-ho, Steve-o-rino.”

[WENDLE]

Ha great analyses. In my first speech class, I can remember saying “BWWWWAAAAAA”. I tried again and again and each time it was the same. That was “Rubio syndrome”.

[kenmcg]

Christie sliced and diced Rubio last night. Rubio could have brought up “bridgegate” and how the heavyweight hugged the messiah throwing the election to Obama. Surprising that Rubio crumbled as he did.
