Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) found himself again repeating a line in his stump speech Monday during a campaign rally in Nashua, New Hampshire—this time when talking about family values.

“We are taking our message to families that are struggling to raise their children in the 21st century,” Rubio said, adding that he and his wife were raising four children. “And we know how hard it’s become to instill our values in our kids instead of the values they try to ram down our throats.”

He proceeded to repeat essentially the same thing.

“In the 21st century, it’s become harder than ever to instill in your children the values they teach in our homes and in our church instead of the values they try to ram down our—” Rubio said, stuttering over his words as he perhaps realized he was repeating himself, “—throats in the movies, in music, in popular culture.”

Rival and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) called out Rubio Saturday at the Republican presidential debate for being “scripted” and repeating his lines.

Rubio repeated four times that night that President Barack Obama “doesn’t know what he’s doing,” leading to widespread mockery of the Florida senator as a “robot.” He’s since defended himself, saying he stands by that line and would even pay networks to keep playing the clip from the debate because it’s what he believes in.

    It’s pretty clear now what kind of porn Sen. Rubio prefers.

  2. The kind that doesn’t feature any actresses?

  3. As I just said in another thread, when Rump gets through with everyone else and trains his sights on the Rube, it’ll be very ugly. There’s no level of depravity that Rump won’t descend to, Especially if it involves young Rube’s manhood and intelligence. Rump knows where his jugular is and his aim is precise. Rube won’t be able to come back at him fast enough or hard enough; he’ll just keep repeating the same attacks on Rump that he was told to say only once.

  4. The bigger problem here is that the GOP are fighting the last war, ALL repeat the same talking points, and are all trying to position themselves as renegade/conservative, populist/pro-business, pure freedom/pelvic legislators.

    Good luck with that.
