I honestly dont get what the big deal is. Every politician repeats their main talking points ad nauseam. It's a strategic calculation, it appeals to the base, and its generally accepted as part of the political dialogue.
Sure Rubio sounds a bit repetitive, but are any Republicans going to bag on him because he insults Obama too much? I hardly think that will be decisive at the ballot box.
Uh... did you watch the video? He literally repeated the same sentence twice in less than thirty seconds.
And the point is?
As I stated, politicians repeat the same exact phrases over and over again. How many times does Hillary bash the Republicans in a 1 minute segment? How many times does Christie bash Clinton in the same amount of time?
I think it looks a bit odd and the optics of it may hurt him, but I certainly don't equate it to an 'oops' moment. Granted it shows a lack of 'creative' thought, but I dont think it will be a deciding factor for most of the voters.
How many times does Trump repeat his statement about getting beat by 'China, Mexico, and Japan'?
No, sorry...what Rubio is doing is not "normal"
You do not see politicians repeat word for word the exact same phrase within the same 2 minutes.
