Earlier this year, Sen. Marco Rubio had a really lousy debate, and he performed poorly in the New Hampshire primary afterwards. Here’s how responded:

We’re still watching these numbers, we’ll see where it winds up but I can tell you I know many people are disappointed. I’m disappointed with tonight, I want you to understand, but I want you to understand something. I want you to understand something. Our disappointment tonight is not on you, it’s on me. It’s on me. I did not — I did not do well on Saturday night. So listen to this, that will never happen again.

Last night, Donald Trump had a lousy debate, missing a lot of opportunities. Here’s how he responded:

Yeah, yeah. It’s all the microphone’s fault. It’s all Lester Holt’s fault. It’s the fault of everybody except the one guy on stage whose job is to make the sales pitch for Donald Trump.
