Since all he was doing was spewing canned RW talking points, nothing he said was or will be memorable or particularly important, nor is any of it specifically identifiable with him. The GOP clearly intends only to try to slide through what they think will be an acceptable "rubber stamper." Their warped ideology remains unchanged.
But this was his first 'prime time' appearance to prep him for '16 and visuals are what will stick. He's got his 15 minutes to "eloquently" introduce himself as the savior of the GOP; instead he spewed their canned points and made himself into a joke.
I didn't get to see it (working) but from what I've read, the awkward water moment was just a piece of the visual FAIL. Even the CBS article in the OP mentions the preceding "flop sweat."
He was their next great white hope. And just another in a long line of clowns emerging from their clown car to fail in prime time. Nothing wrong with laughing at their latest clown's performance, imo
