It would be easy to blame Campaign Manager Terry Sullivan and Deputy Campaign Manager Rich Beeson for what happened. Did their tactics of keeping Marco "on message" create what Fatso did to him before New Hampshire. Did they mistake that tactic which Obama used so well instead of letting him free-lance, showing him as the quick witted and eloquent off-the cuff candidate he actually was? YES. But of more concern was their lack of follow-up after a Rubio appearance. Receptive crowds showed up, listened, liked what they heard and then the show was gone and......nothing. The Iowa campaign was ONE field office in the Des Moines suburbs. Cruz meanwhile had multiple offices and almost 100 appearances. Sullivan and Beeson theorized having Marco on the network shows was more effective than the rubber chicken circuit. And it cost them Iowa. And yet they didn't learn.
A LAZY campaign that never followed up after absentee ballots were mailed in each state. The old school knows you have to pester those people to get their attention and their vote. And then they decided to out-insult Trump. And it WORKED but was taken too far and went against the grain of what the voters had seen out of Rubio before. They didn't like it....only Trump's moonbats go for that kind of behavior and they weren't about to switch to a candidate that could actually speak Spanish (Cruz the Cuban no habla espanola). And there was Bush, and Fatso, and Carson, and Kasich keeping the votes divided letting Trump win with 30%. The Rubio team had to run a PERFECT counter given the circumstances but were more enthralled with keeping the donors happy than the possible voters. And in the end the donors got off the train and STILL there was nothing new...same speech, dwindling crowds, the media hacks descending down like buzzards on carrion. And now he's gone and maybe permanently scarred for his effort and their ignorance.
