Rubio: If You're Down, This Is The Only Way To Possible Turnaround

[Kathianne]

It's not just Jeb who's seemed to finally learned a thing or two, Rubio seems to have a fast learning curve. Hillary could learn a thing or two-but unlikely considering how many times she's done it wrong. Take the blame and learn from it, Obama could have used a lesson in this too:

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Sen. Marco Rubio on Tuesday told supporters he was "disappointed" in his poor showing in the New Hampshire primary, blaming a poor debate performance for setting back a presidential campaign that had been on the rise after a stronger than expected result in Iowa just eight days ago.


"Our disappointment tonight was not on you. It's on me. It's on me. I did not do well on Saturday night," he said, referring to his poor debate performance. "So listen to this: That will never happen again." Rubio supporters who gathered for his election night party in Manchester were encouraged by the senator's remarks, saying it gave them confidence that he could rebound in the days ahead.

The contrast will be interesting in how Hellary explains her crushing defeat in NH, and how Rubio owned up to his mistake.

She's employing Obama's youth guru:

Hillary Hires Ex-Obama Aide In Bid for Youth Vote

by JOHN FUND February 10, 2016 8:17 AM @JOHNFUND Hillary Clinton won only 16% of voters under the age of 30 in New Hampshire. That devastating result helps explain why she is now giving a key role in her campaign to 39-year-old Jen O’Malley Dillon, Barack Obama’s deputy campaign manager in 2012. Last year, O’Malley Dillon was also the lead U.S. consulate on the campaign team of 43-year-old Justin Trudeau, who activated younger voters to become that country’s second-youngest prime minister.

NBC News reports that “both Bill and Hillary Clinton have been concerned about campaign strategy and messaging, according to sources…

The Clinton’s did not foresee the size of Tuesday night’s defeat in New Hampshire, compounding the apparent urgency to act.”

No kidding. Nevada’s Democratic caucuses are only ten days away, and momentum from New Hampshire could propel Bernie Sanders into an upset victory. The crucial South Carolina primary is a week later on February 27.

O’Malley Dillon isn’t one for giving many interviews. But she did write an article in Campaigns & Elections after she helped Trudeau’s Liberals throw out an incumbent Conservative government that had been in power for a decade. “While mean-spirited and pessimistic rhetoric may play to the base early on, optimism almost always wins out in the end,” she wrote. “(The Liberals) stuck to their campaign plan and remained true to their leader’s positive vision and authentic message”

The challenge is that what worked for the Liberals in Canada might be difficult to replicate with Hillary Clinton. Her message is seen as backward-looking and as for authenticity, a majority of Democrats who voted in New Hampshire’s primary don’t view her as honest or trustworthy.

Now is the time for Rubio to make his mistakes, not later. If you look at the Real Clear Politics poll averages, you will see that Hillary Goldman Clinton's best hope is for Trump to be the GOP nominee.

It looks like Christie's sole contribution to this election was to hobble Rubio's chances in NH. Hope he's happy back in NJ licking his wounds.

He's an awesome attack dog. AG would be right up his alley.
