Never mind Rubio being a scripted automoton...

Who the hell is he running against? The line he repeated over and over again was about fighting Obama. Last I checked, Obama isn't running for anything. So what the hell is his message anyway?

Put a fork in this loser. He doesn't have the gravitas to be a small-town mayor let alone President of the United States.

He's a completely empty suit, waiting to be filled by anyone's check who clears.

which makes me winder, what was his attendance record for that job?

Perhaps he figures that since he's such a one trick pony he only needs to show up once in a while to repeat his song and dance then go home since everyone already knows what he's got to say.

6. Now he's blaming the media, and will keep repeating his message.

He is totally out of touch. He is sticking with his script because he doesn't know anything else, and apologizing or backing down would make him look weak. He could have sat with his strategists and come up with a more plausible explanation for his ridiculous repetition -- he had a cold and was high on Xanax and Robitussin cocktails -- anything. Anything. But to double-down on stupid is just, uh...stupid.

Despite being an extremist wingding of the highest order, he could "pass as a moderate".

He's just another "Attack Attack Attack" Republican . . . no vision on the issues that matter.

9. I think that's what the monies are banking on.

Big money doesn't want Trump or Cruz. Rubio has a lot of money. Where did he get it? The Koch & their collabotates, I'm certain.

Rubio started out teapartying, and now he's teetering in the primaries between a teapartier and a moderate. He's an empty-suit opportunist willing to be a puppet.

He's supposedly good looking, youthful, latino and a fast talker (I can't stand the sound of his voice). Do the powers that be think this is an appealing combo?

I agree with you, he has no vision of his own. This opportunist will have another 25 second sound bite to spew once he memorizes his handlers next attack message.
