Rubio lost...looks like Jeb's powerpoint slides critiquing Rubio as another lightweight Obama came true. However, Obama never got outmatched like this in a debate with Hillary. Rubio got torched, sliced, diced and minced.
The problem, is that Barack Obama is incredibly intelligent. Not only is Rubio not intelligent, he's not even of average intelligence. He's a pretty-boy dullard.
Yeah, it's a shame it took the media this long to figure it out.
Rubio speaks fast and drops some names and fancy words but when you take that away all there is is Rick Perry.
Rubio's not a dullard, but he's extremely strident, and he realizes that his overambitious nature caused him to waste his time in the Senate where he could have been building a conservative legacy that could have catapulted him into the Presidency. His absenteeism in the Senate is so bad that I doubt he could be re-elected to his Senate seat should he suddenly abandon the race for President and try to seek re-election. There are oodles of candidates in the race now, and they'd all use the absenteeism, as would his Democratic opponent. Rubio might even lose to Alan Grayson if he tried to re-enter the Senate race in FL.
