MSNBC: Marco Rubio ‘Really Is the Republican Obama’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

[clip starts]
RUBIO: “This is the moment they said would never happen.”
OBAMA: “You know, they said — they said — they said this day would never come.”
RUBIO: “For months, for months they told us we had no chance. For months they told us because we offered too much optimism in a time of anger we had no chance.”
OBAMA: “They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided. Too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose.”
RUBIO: “For months they told us because we didn’t have the right endorsements or the right political connections we had no chance.”
OBAMA: “But on this January night at this defining moment in history you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do.”

BRZEZINSKI: “One of those guys won.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I have been saying for a year that he is the Republican Obama.” (Laughter)
BRZEZINSKI: “You just nailed it.”
SCARBOROUGH: “And he really is the Republican Obama.”
ROBINSON: “He is trying to be —“
WALLACE: “That’s a good goal, Joe. Obama won twice. I’m sure Rubio with live with that comparison.”
SCARBOROUGH: “In my opinion having somebody with little experience before they become president has not actually been great —“ [crosstalk]

RATTNER: “Joe, I take your point about experience, but it’s not like the leaders in the republican field, any of them have a lot of experience, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, what experience do any of them have?”
SCARBOROUGH: “We will have that debate later. I don’t want to get things hurled at me early this morning. But, Gene, you make a great point, Barack Obama won.”
ROBINSON: “He won.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Marco Rubio came in third place. By the way, this whole thing about they said we didn’t have the endorsements. What are you talking about? The media has been kissing him for like he has been number one on ‘The New York Times’ deal since he was playing little league. No. High. That was a funny line. When he talked about the shoe thing that was actually cool. When you say things that just aren’t true — they said — no, they didn’t say. And by the way, I also loved the part where he went on and he said, for those of you that have been listening to the narrative in the media every day — that Rubio was going to finish third place. I mean —”
BRZEZINKI: “It’s crazy.”
SCARBOROUGH: “It was crazy.”
