Gah, I was flipping out because I thought I missed the premiere of the new season! That was pretty funny though.

It's surprising to see - ignoring stance or political issues, I believe Rubio to be a vastly superior public speaker and debater than every other candidate from either party. He is consistently quick on his feet, he doesn't ramble, and he's never caught off guard - last debate excluded. Now that things are getting serious and the pressure is turning up, I wonder if his ability to keep his cool and maintain his constitution will crumble as he progresses further into the primaries.

He does seem at least as quick on his rhetorical feet as any of of the others. More than that, I think given the opportunity he'd actually try to say something. Trump is the most skilled presenter, but he has nothing to say.

It was a little sad for me to see Rubio called out and mocked like that. Not that I want him to be President, or care all that much about him, but he wasn't doing anything that the rest of them don't do. They all have a speech, and a set of talking points, and a strategically crafted message designed to appeal (and be comprehensible) to the people they're trying to sway.

It's more that the entire process seems ever more ridiculous and even further removed from anything I think is important.
