      @DouthatNYT Ok--but then why hasn't he kept pushing that along? Instead--it's Obama as near traitor blah blah blah. Repeat (sorry).

      @yeselson I think the theory of sudden Obama bashing was, "time to present as unifying figure for the party, party agrees Obama bad, GO."

      @DouthatNYT Right--but the dark side was not the best side for an ostensibly optimistic young man to take.

      @yeselson Well he needed/needs to show toughness, and they thought showing it against Obama was the way to go.

      @DouthatNYT @yeselson But Obama is a lame duck that Rubio will never run against. Challenging Trump would've shown toughness.

      @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT Yeah, probably. I admit I'm not sure. Maybe the R's should have given Perry a longer look. Just don't know....

      @DouthatNYT @yeselson Rubio & Perry interesting examples of how a single bad debate moment can destroy a presidential bid.

      @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT @yeselson Perry had already lost over 2/3 of his support before his famous debate gaffe. http://www.nationalreview.com/postmodern-conservative/430947/rick-perry-gaffe-myth …

      @petespiliakos @DouthatNYT @yeselson Candidates go up & down & up (see Rubio pre-gaffe). Gaffe prevented Perry from recovering.

          @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT @yeselson It had been all down for Perry long before that debate. It's real impact was in how it branded him for 2016.
