<p><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:large;">Republican presidential candidate, New jersey governor Chris Christie took political shading to a whole new level, as he took down Senator Marco Rubio.</span></span></p>
<p> ;</p>
<h4><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-weight:normal;">At last night&#8217;s Republican presidential debate, Rubio cited passing sanctions against Hezbollah as one of his biggest credentials from the Senate, Christie reminded him that he had not even bothered to vote for the legislation:</span></span></h4>
<h4><span style="color:blue;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><i>“You weren’t even there,”<br />
“That’s not leadership,”<br />
“That’s truancy.”</i></span></span></span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"><i> </i></span></span></p>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">
<p><i></i><br />
While giving Rubio side eyes he derisively called the senator a marionette delivering prepackaged answers as the possible solution to any and all questions, &#8216;a programmed deliverer of polished-sounding lines.&#8217;</p>
</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"><i> &#8220;when you are the governor of a state the memorized 25 second speech about how great America is doesn&#8217;t solve one problem for one person. &#8220;</i></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">Seconds later, Rubio seemed to prove Mr. Christie right.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">Rubio already on the defensive, pressed to prove that, despite his short time and lack of major accomplishment in the Senate, he had the experience and skills to be president, Mr. Rubio instead pivoted quickly to a well-rehearsed argument about President Obama’s liberal agenda.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">The next three questions fired his way, all were answered with the same poll tested talking points. Same style, a little waffling on the substantive issue, then with a flourish:</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"><i>&#8220;Let&#8217;s dispel this fiction that Barack Obama doesn&#8217;t know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing, He is trying to change this country.&#8221; </i><br />
<i>&#8220;He wants to make America like the rest of the world&#8221; </i><br />
Scratching my head &#8230; what was the question again??</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">A gleeful Christie flexed and delivered a mule kick. A ready made TV moment for shading<i>:</i><br />
<i>“There it is.” </i>Turning, fingers pointing at Rubi<i>o “There it is, everybody.”</i></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">Side long look at Senator Rubio then directly at the camera, Christie said</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"><i>“You know what the shame is, Marco?”</i></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"><i> “The shame is that you would criticize somebody for actually showing up to work, plowing the streets, getting the trains running on time, when you’ve never been responsible for that in your entire life.”</i></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content"></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">All credit to Rubio though, flip the script on him and he remains true to the message. Hey, why let a little thing like exactitude get in the way of the pretested, prepackaged, one size fits all response.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content">This morning Rubio adamantly refused to get off the stump speech that has brought him this far. Regardless of the issue at hand, he insists his message is about providing America with an alternative to Obama&#8217;s liberal agenda.</div>
