Just wondering why it needs to be a rebuttal

Why can't it just be a response as to what the president wants to get done on how they see the path forward.
It's sad that so many could only find in this rebuttal a discussion about his drinking of water, wouldn't you think he could have gone
the high road and actually gave a speech about the future and what American can do to get there, how they could work together
in the congress to do the business that is ahead of us. But no, the only high spot of the speech was a drink of water. I wonder why?

It actually WAS the high point of the speech because, as Arkady pointed out, it was the only moment when Rubio looked remotely human. The rest of it was a mixture of strawman arguments, logical contradictions, and out-and-out LIES.

And a retread of Romney campaign speeches....which from a political strategy standpoint makes NO sense whatsoever. You just lost a Presidential election....so you're going to send out your 2016 "savior" to say the EXACT same thing the guy that LOST just said four months ago?!?!?

that about sums it up! When are Republicans going to get the message that if they want more than their base they need to get somethings done, which they have made sure wouldn't get done for over 2 years now, maybe closer to four.
It's like the mother does to the birds who won't fly, they shove them off the nest and make them fly, but the voters have said fly republicans but they refuse to leave the nest. It's time the voters throw them off their nest and make them fly. Pretty soon their won't be any bird on the right left to fly guys.
