Trump's worst debate this entire election cycle.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Rubio did horribly....but then Trump insulted the audience and got booed at least 5 times in the span of 2 minutes so....

Rubio
Trump
Carson

That order.

Found a picture of Marco Rubio:

Let's dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

This is an argument that has been advanced in the writings of some movement conservative commentators.  It's not something Rubio made up just to bolster his argument.  After being treated non-stop to the arguments of how incompetent Obama is, this one was so dissonant that Rubio should have seen it for the non-starter it was.  Instead, he quadruped down on it.  Big mistake. Big.  YUGE.

The cognitive dissonance between the twin Republican caricatures of Obama is obvious. Is he an incompetent dope, or is he a scheming, Alinskyite genius? How could he be both at the same time?

Republicans do not usually acknowledge the contradiction. Donald Trump is an exception, actually, siding firmly and exclusively with the incompetence critique.

So what you're saying is that we need to dispel this myth that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing, he knows exactly what he's doing?

Rubio by a decent margin.

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.

Well, he must be intelligent to know exactly what he's doing.

For those who missed, here's the moment when Rubio had his meltdown:

Good bye Rubio, enjoy your foam parties.

Let's dispel with this fiction that Rubio lost the debate. He... wait, yes, yes he did.

Biggest loser of the night was us, the home viewing audience, as we were denied the chance to hear how President Carson would solve the North Korea problem.

That's giving him a bit too much credit, tbh.

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.

Let's dispel with this fiction that we don't all know who lost tonight. We all know exactly who lost tonight.

You must have loved that debate. Well, it's good to get this all out now. In that sense, the debate was most informative.

Towards the end of the debate, Rubio wasn't that bad. However, he had some really cringeworthy moments early that overshadowed his whole performance.
