Marco Rubio benefited from low expectations in Iowa. How else do you explain finishing third and getting a big bump in the polls? And before Saturday night’s debate debacle, I thought expectations might be getting too high for Rubio in New Hampshire. …
But the debate, during which Chris Christie pretty thoroughly tore Rubio apart, appears to have changed all that. It’s hard to say what people expect of Rubio now, but he’s in a pretty precarious position. CONT.
