Media attention is like a spotlight. It illuminates the present with a
blinding light and then proceeds to view both past and future in the
reflected glow of the current moment. Marco Rubio’s campaign fortunes are a particularly dramatic example of
the reinterpretation of electoral reality based on the changing
vicissitudes of the right now. Last week, based on a third place
finish in the Iowa caucus, Rubio was seen as a world-beater, capable of
uniting the anti-Trump, anti-Cruz, majority of the Republican Party.
Today, after a fifth-place finish in New Hampshire, Rubio is all but
written off as a dead man running. The moment that the commentators have seized on to explain the
turn-about is Rubio’s performance in the last GOP debate, specifically the
hilariously nicknamed Rubio “glitch” ... Here is my take:
