‘Robotic’ Marco Rubio suffers setback in Hampshire Republican debate

Surging Republican hopeful Marco Rubio wilts under sustained attack in the latest US presidential debate, denting his stature going into Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.

The most sustained attack was waged by New Jersey governor Christie, a no-nonsense former federal prosecutor who has campaigned hard in New Hampshire. Christie attacked Rubio for  repeating the same “memorized 25-second speech” almost verbatim.
