"In his first public appearances the morning after a terrible debate performance, Marco Rubio tried to push back Sunday against the idea that he lacks accomplishments as a lawmaker, a key part of the argument being made against him by rivals who say he is too inexperienced to be president.
On a morning talk show, the U.S. senator from Florida argued that “no one on that stage last night
has more experience or better understands the national security issues before this country than I do.”
And at a town hall event here, Rubio asserted that among Republican presidential candidates, he is “the only who’s ever done anything meaningful about” dismantling Obamacare.
Bush also, on “Fox News Sunday,” pinged Rubio as “totally scripted and kind of robotic” because Rubio repeated the same phrase three times within the space of a few minutes during the debate as Christie pressed the attack against him.
And Christie himself on Sunday morning used the debate performance to further call into question the conventional wisdom that Republicans who do not want Cruz or businessman Donald Trump to win the nomination must unite behind Rubio.
“All week, the media is trying to make that we coalesce around Marco Rubio,” Christie said on “Fox News Sunday.’ “After you saw that performance last night, do you think they should be coalescing around Marco Rubio? Do you think that’s the kind of performance, that’s the kind of leadership that we want to see on the stage against Hillary Clinton?”
Of course, there were plenty of Rubio supporters who were not deterred from supporting him by the debate performance." yahoo
