How about a bit on polling regarding the debate?

Who Lost Tonight's Debate

Regardless of Politicos (neat) graphics, it seems the nation was the big loser from Debate Eight.
Of course, if you watched the debate (I didn't) you probably recall this clear evidence of Marco Rubio's scripting gone bad. If you have any experience with old wax LP albums, you know Rubio's quagmire. After repeated use, the wax (oratory) wears thin and the LP (Rubio) starts to skip.
Take another look....
It seems Carsons early flub was exponentially surpassed by Rubio's broken record oratory. while Carson could hardly defend his SNAFU, Rubio, as expected and probably as scripted, has come forth with a double and triple down. Would someone please tell Rubio, his remarks may strike a note while vying for the GOP nomination, but he will be forced to enact a major "Etch-A-Sketch" if he wins the nomination. Barack Obama is not running for the Oval Office in 2016.
Talking Points Memo has published a piece with Rubio's fundraising based on the debate comments to entice donors. Another twist to Rubio's double-down regarding his remarks, he has deployed that all too common and tired GOP strategy of deflecting from personal ineptitude and incompetence via pointing at others. In Rubio's case, he strikes out after the media for reporting on his major debate SNAFU.
""We can't afford to let the media get away with this."
"We can't afford to let the media get away with this."
"We can't afford to let the media get away with this."
"We can't afford to let the media get away with this."
Rubio's memorized scripts will not work as he clings to the middle of the road standing among GOP hopefuls.
We think it shameful not one GOP debate has generated any viable or discernible comments regarding policy.
