Senator Rubio’s apparent New Hampshire debate meltdown after his heated exchange with Gov. Chris Christie has politicos and pundits, including Rubio-supporter and Weekly Standard columnist Steven Hayes, agreeing that Rubio had a really tough night.
But while Rubio did have it rough throughout the debate, his messaging of attacking President Barack Obama for purposely trying to destroy America with his liberal and un-American agenda is on point.Think about it. All of the Republican presidential candidates on the debate stage are continuasly ripping Obama over his failed leadership and dangerous economic and foreign policies, right?
So, why don’t they tear into Obama the way Rubio and Cruz are doing?
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Rush Limbaugh has even question why people aren’t giving Senators Rubio and Cruz credit for being the only two Republican presidential candidates that are really taking Obama to the mat over what he has done, and is continuing to do to the country?
Rush is right, as always.
There are only two people that I’m aware of that are making a consistent point of this. Rubio, actually, is atop of this. Rubio and Cruz are the only two in the entire Republican field. Carly Fiorina may have said something like this occasionally. With Rubio, it’s a theme. With Cruz, it’s close to a theme. And the real question is: Why do the other Republicans in the field disagree?Why do they not say it themselves, that Obama is doing what he’s doing on purpose and by design? That is a brilliantly conceived and flawlessly executed plan to transform America into something it was not founded to be. This is something crucially important to Republican voters. To people inside the Beltway, it’s kind of a chuckle. “There they go again, those right wingers!” To people inside the Beltway, to the elites, to the establishment, Obama’s just the latest Democrat to come along.
Again, why are only Rubio and Cruz pouncing on this?
Here is what Rush said about Ted Cruz’s debate performance, and how the media is not reporting how well he did,
You know, Ted Cruz had a great night, and the evidence of that is that nobody wanted to talk about it. If Ted Cruz had had a bad night, folks, you would still be hearing about it, everywhere. CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS.
But Cruz could barely even get a mention Saturday night, and the only mention he got was this back-and-forth with Ben Carson over the silliness talking about Iowa and supposed cheating and stealing of votes. But aside from that, Cruz got hardly any mention. Oh, yeah, when his name was brought up they said, “Yeah, he was solid. He was there. Didn’t hurt himself, didn’t help himself.” Given that none of the people we’re talking about want to see Ted Cruz anywhere near the nomination, the fact is had he done poorly like some of the conventional wisdom was, that would have been their headline.But since he didn’t bomb and since he actually was pretty solid on everything that came his way substantively, they ignored him. That’s the best indication of the solid performance he turned in. But my point is, everybody complaining at the way Martha Raddatz went after Cruz. What…? If you’re gonna have ABC moderate your debate, what do you think is going to happen? George Stephanopoulos is a former — I actually think still an active Democrat operative. George Stephanopoulos is from the Clinton war room.
What do you think you’re gonna get when you have ABC host a debate? Stop complaining! If you’re gonna make the decision to go there you have to realize that Martha Raddatz wants Hillary Clinton to be elected and Hillary Clinton’s weakness is foreign policy. Ted Cruz comes along and happens to run rings around Hillary or anybody else in foreign policy. She’s gonna try to take him out, and she’s not gonna show any respect at all.
Tonight is election day in New Hampshire. We know Trump will win New Hampshire, but who will come in second, third, fourth, or even fifth?
