Politico: “Marco Rubio knew exactly what he was doing on Saturday night. The problem was he flubbed it.”
“Rubio awkwardly pivoted four times to a well-rehearsed line that President Obama ‘knows exactly what he’s doing’ as he tried to drill home the idea that he’s the inevitable general election candidate – an unforced error that his rivals pounced on and that quickly went viral.”
Dan Balz: “Rubio knew the attacks were coming, but instead of answering them directly, he sought to change the subject. Once, twice, three times he offered a quick counterpunch and then slid off the criticisms to turn to an attack on President Obama, repeating his language almost word for word and drawing boos from the audience.”
