first question. He had it memorized and was in too much of a rush to get it all out fast, so his timing was all off. It was obvious that he had been fed the question beforehand and had his scripted answer. I suspect most of the others had their little 'questions', too.

4. Chris is just sort of losing it and Chuck is just plain tired. At least I hope that's the reason.

I agree, Rubio was a zero. They think he is part of the future and we will be seeing him much more in the future. Good lord...

he's telegenic and didn't lose his shit like most of the others - one of the handful of grownups.

Kasich would be the other grown-up-like, but whiny.

Carson, perhaps. Although a liar.

6. Chuck Toad asks, "Do we really want to go back to electing baby boomers"?

We already know how Chuck hates Hillary, but the slobber job on Rubio was overtly slanted.

He may as well be Rubio's campaign manager the way he's talking him up.

Toad must have forgotten who the base of the repug party is, white racists who wouldn't think of voting for a Latino. In fact, they'd rather deport him.

Rubio was totally unimpressive. He spoke entirely in clichés and wasn't memorable at all.
