Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Sunday touted his debate performance, amid criticism about "scripted" responses and him needing to repeat his opposition to President Obama to defend a sustained attack by GOP presidential rival Chris Christie.
Christie, the governor of New Jersey, argued during the Saturday night debate that Rubio would be like Obama if elected -- a freshman senator leading the country with essentially no experience running a government.
Rubio said several times during the attack that Obama indeed "knows exactly what he's doing," which is trying to make the country "like the rest of the world."
On Sunday, Rubio defended his response.
"I would pay them to keep running that clip because that's what I believe passionately," he said on ABC's "This Week." "It's one of the reasons why I'm not running for re-election to the Senate and I'm running for president."

Republicans are smarter than Democrats... Had someone like Christie been on the stage on 08, Obama would never have been president, but democrats were too stupid to set the trap as Christie did to Rubio.
Maybe Rubio needed to repeat his point that Mr. Obama knows exactly what he’s doing so that it would finally sink in...some continue to say Mr. Obama is incompetent and give him the ‘benefit of the doubt’. Mr. Obama told us, a long time ago, he planned to change America and that’s what he’s doing.
LOL.
Rubio has for all intents and purposes quit his job because he has lost interest but he’s still taking the paycheck. Now he wants us to make him the leader of the free world because he’s real good at memorizing stuff.
There’s more to it than that ...I don’t think Rubio is that stupid ...everyone knows the current state of affairs , but Rubio keeps repeating the same things over and over , for a reason
He woke up to what Trump has been doing, and doing successfully. Pointing at the asshole in the White House and his destructive pro islamic policies.
Its that muslim marxist coalition that gave us nObama.
He however is wrong in the rest of the world. The rest of the world is not purely marxists and muslims... but is getting everso close that the idiots are picking between the two....lol
Rubio was absolutely right. Is there anybody here who can honestly contradict him?
I thought not
.....................
He was correct. You are right.
He was correct. You are right.

I’m for Cruz but I think Rubio did well. Should have slammed the abomination of drafting women.
His `brain farts’ are a lot better this evening after several electroshock treatments in the robot lab.
It will be interesting to see how Rush props up his boy Monday. He pimped Rubio all last week.
The logistics of moving large numbers of people back to Mexico is not that hard. Dry up employment and welfare and they will deport themselves.
Or they will go back for the good jobs Ford and GM are providing. I can hear Perot’s “giant sucking sound” as I type.
Gang of 8 bump for later...
“Rush props up his boy Monday.”
I didn’t listen to Rush much last week but I wonder if Rush thinks that if Trump and Cruz tank, we need to get behind Marco.
Otherwise we will feel the Bern or be ruled by Hellery.
Rush will prop up Rubio. He’ll probably refer back to 2008 when he himself said of Obama, “I hope he fails”. Rush has always said that Obama’s tactics were deliberate, not simply “uninformed”. He may not touch on the fact that Rubio is one big set of memorized talking points. That was the point that Christie successfully drove home.
Funny thing is, Christie does the same thing.
How many times has he given the little speech about senators vs governors? He starts with “You see, you see....” When he gets attacked on an issue, he goes straight to his 911 schtick.
Rubio’s repetition did not bother me. It was calculated. Like at least 90% of the audience, I mostly tuned him out. He has to repeat the key ideas or people do not hear them.
True,but he has to realize who he is talking to,not everyone listens to Rush.
After the first time he should have said this is what Obama meant when he said ,we have to spread the wealth around,and he was going to fundamentally transform the United States of AmericaHow do you like your salaries going down,your premiums skyrocketing,illegals taking your jobs,Muslims moving in all across the fruited plain.
Of course that would have to have Been someone who is prepared to take on the jackals in the Democrat party like Hillary,and Rubio is a wimp and a lightweight,unprepared and a fraud.
The Bubble Boy is finished.
And by the looks of it taking Tim Scott down with him.
