Official 2/12/2013 State of Union Thread

Anyone else watching CNN hear the uh oh when he reached for the water?

You say that, yet the fact that he was chosen to give the Republican response, coupled with him factoring into the GOP's plan to attract minority voters, means that he will be pushed as a potential candidate for 2016. Maybe he may run again in 2020 if he loses like Romney did in both 2008 and 2012.

To me, the focus shouldn't necessarily be to make him appear unelectable, but have someone preferable in the GOP look better by comparison. If Rubio is only pushed because of his ethnicity, then that's going to be a problem when it comes to being questioned in things where Rubio may not that much background knowledge or experience. My hope is that once his response is complete, folks can begin dissecting his response and see where there may be flaws. That or if there's anything you can punch a hole into. Same with Rand Paul, if only to know what he can improve upon.

But he'll be bald.

Drink of water needs to become a meme and pronto.

The "oh shit" look on his face was priceless.

Yep. haha. He's got major dry mouth.

 

[pacodever]

Loved the lean off camera for some water. Real smooth...

 

[BSU kid]

Holy Shit! Rand is making fun of Rubio on CSPAN, I love it!

 

[Confederate]

I see Rand getting his mic put on!

"Is he still talking?" (talking about Rubio) lol

 

[rprprs]

Rubio is a disaster

I knew the content would be B.S., but I expected the presentation to be better.

 

[JK/SEA]

good gawd....this guy is the darling of the republican party?.....pathetic

 

[itshappening]

He was really struggling at one point but he's recovered a bit..

still hopeless.

 

[mac_hine]

Although I'm not the biggest Rand fan (I do have an open mind and can be swayed), I really hope he kills it tonight.

It shouldn't be all that hard. Obama being the collectivist dictator that he is, and Rubio, the balding pandering douchebag, with his empty phony conservative rhetoric and awkward hand gestures.

Go get em Rand!

 

[green73]

My God, War and Peace was shorter.

Wolf had a live mic.

 

[wgadget]

Rubio is a disaster

Remember how Bobby Jindal self destructed after HIS response speech?

 

[parocks]

Rand will be on CNN, or no?

 

[green73]

Holy Shit! Rand is making fun of Rubio on CSPAN, I love it!

Do tell.

 

[itshappening]

This guy has absolutely no chance when it comes to the debates. Rand will destroy him on that stage

 

[JK/SEA]

did you see that?...chesire cat grin....one hand clapping...nice job ruby..

 

[green73]

Rand will be on CNN, or no?

He is supposed to be.
