Tweety speculated that Rubio has a personality disorder

[cui bono]

He was on with Thom Hartmann and said he really does think Rubio might have something wrong with him, like personality disorder or something. He said what kind of person repeats themselves five times verbatim at one sitting? He said maybe it's short term memory loss, but something isn't right.

Oh, when Hartmann said he thought Rubio was running for VP Tweety said he didn't think he would be able to do that position, that he was not capable.

Not that I revere Tweety's word, I don't, but I found it interesting that he went there about Rubio.

1. ALL the Repuke candidates

have personality disorders.

[get the red out]

3. I agree!

Freak show! Sociopath central.

[hifiguy]

31. As sure as eggs is eggs.

And Tweety has one himself - he can't resist toadying and sucking up to the powerful in the most embarrassing ways possible. "Groveling" doesn't begin to describe it.

[Mister Ed]

2. How can you have a personality disorder without a personality?

[earthshine]

4. Tweety? Personality disorder? Takes one to know one. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. shut up. love him

I know not all do. But, love his enthusiasm, his love of history, politics, his guts to push back in interviews. No, not perfect. But, can't believe anyone could say he has no personality

[earthshine]

30. Have another drink

Tweety has plenty of personality. It's just disordered.

In 2004, I saw him interview a woman from the NOW organization about GW Bush. He didn't like the woman's anti-Bush stance and ripped the mic from her hands.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Holy crap ...12 years ago. LOL

[dorkzilla]

38. Hear, hear!

He’s a first class moron. Why do they book guests on his show when he interrupts people all the time. UGH!

[gratuitous]

5. Not a personality disorder

This seemed to me like a candidate petrified to stray off-script. His memorized responses aren't all that great to begin with, but organizing his thoughts, speaking extemporaneously, and standing upright all at the same time seems to be well beyond Sen. Rubio's capabilities. To his credit, Rubio knows this, and is willing to risk looking totally foolish in preference to whatever might happen should he ever have to resort to the power of his brain alone to sustain him.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Yes...aren't that great to begin with. If you listen - he's one of

those people who drone on and say nothing you stop listening.

I hate the pace of his speech. staccato. way too fast. It makes him appear way to jittery - which I guess he truely is. hence the sweating

[dmr]

40. I can't stand the sound of his voice.

I have to mute him. I did listen during the debate. Argh .... that was awful. I think my ears bled a little.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

45. Funny. what do you think about Kasich's accent ? He was just

on MoJoe and I swear he sounds like Pa Kettle. Plus, he has got
to be the biggest nerd ever. Nice guy but I can't believe politics
and TV (was on Faux News) hasn't given him one iota of sophistication.

[elfin]

26. Agree - he "clutches" when stakes are big

Witness the thirsty SOU Response in the past.

Not ready for prime time now and probably never. He raised the stakes on this campaign all by himself by announcing he's not going to continue in the Senate. High stakes = higher clutch probability for him.

[ananda]

6. So? What Reep candidate isn't seriously disturbed and/or deranged?

Hmm????

[Stardust]

10. Lol! "Reep"

[NV Whino]

7. Pot, meet kettle.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Nooooo. NVW. Like him, please :)

[NV Whino]

23. I can't stand the way he talks over people

Couldn't stand Rhodes or Frankin for the same reason. I think Frankin has become a fine politician, and I think Randi had a lot of good things to say. She just never let anyone else talk.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Agree. Colbert's like that too. And Mika and Joe. Yikes...this

morning I wanted to whack her. I am just watching and waiting
for the day someone just cussed them out for making them rise
so early, dress up, and only get to say 1/2 sentence.

[NV Whino]

42. Yeah. If I were those people, I would get up and walk out.

I don't care who it is. You invite them on to your program, or to call in, let 'em talk.

[HubertHeaver]

8. Diagnosis from afar.

Also known as "Fristing".

[HooptieWagon]

9. I just heard a clip. It was very strange.

Def some kind of short circuit. I can understand getting a brain freeze, not being able to form a thought, and just repeating the same line unconsciously as filler. Sucks for him it happened on national TV.

[NightWatcher]

11. This morning he said he was a Replicant from Blade Runner.

[cui bono]

12. That's right! Forgot about that one.

.

[Ilsa]

13. Isn't a person required to have some persuasive

speaking skills to get through law school? I thought he was a lawyer, and I would have figured that speaking, even extemporaneously, would be easy for him.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

14. He is intentionally and purposely republican

Of course he has a personality disorder. That seems like it should be self evident to me.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Why Why Why isn't anyone bringing up the lying about his parents????

Said they escaped Castro before Castro in power !!

Come on Donald !!!

[meow2u3]

19. Is there a teabagger Republican who doesn't have a personality disorder?

[Skittles]

43. no

[backscatter712]

20. RubioBot failed his Turing Test... n/t

[hifiguy]

32. Rubio.exe suffered a fatal crash.

BSOD.

[U of M Dem]

21. Personality Disorders abound among those that seek power.

Presently personality disorders are thought of as more of a spectrum / Smörgåsbord.

As a social worker who gets paid to complete mental health assessments I would posit the following regarding presidential hopefuls:

Republicans:
D. Grump - Narcissistic Personality Disorder / Antisocial Personality Disorder
T. Crude - Narcissistic PD
Jeb! - Dependent PD
C. Fire(them-all)Rina - Obsessive-Compulsive PD / Narcissistic PD
C. Crispy - Narcissistic PD / Histrionic PD
M. Rube(io) - Avoidant PD
B. Cares-none - Schizoid PD

Democrats:
HRH. Clinton - Narcissistic PD / Obsessive-Compulsive PD
#Feel the Bern - Other specified personality disorder with features of integrity (not a real diagnosis in case you were wondering)

Quick Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder

[hifiguy]

33. I think Cruz has a few more.

Anti-social personality disorder, sadism, megalomania/messiah complex, and probably schizophrenia given the magnitude of his religulous delusions.

Cruz is a walking smorgasbord of mental pathologies.

[reflection]

22. I thought you had to have a personality for it to be disordered. n/t

[GoneOffShore]

24. The Republican candidates all have personality disorders.

IANAP and I can tell.

[Odin2005]

25. I think he's just unprepared for the big time.

Cruz and Trump are the ones with personality disorders. Trump is a narcissist and Cruz is an outright sociopath.

[LeftishBrit]

27. Does he have a personality at all?

[madokie]

28. tweety would be one to know

[malaise]

35. Hahahahaha- KABOOM

DUzy

[LiberalArkie]

29. Child mode on: Takes one to know one. Takes one to know one.

[malaise]

34. Which is why I asked if he was on any medication

That was not normal behavior but remember the water bottle

[trof]

37. Possibly Tourette syndrome.

Tourette's was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, most often associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks (coprolalia), but this symptom is present in only a small minority of people with Tourette's.[1] Tourette's is no longer considered a rare condition, but it is not always correctly identified because most cases are mild and the severity of tics decreases for most children as they pass through adolescence.

Between 0.4% and 3.8% of children and adolescents ages 5 to 18 may have Tourette's;[2] the prevalence of other tic disorders in school-age children is higher, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements.

[mainstreetonce]

41. I think he was coached

( probably by someone who coached Romney)
He was told don't attack the candidates ,attack Obama and stick to it and that's what he did.

I wish I knew the four questions he was asked that he didn't answer,but repeated the canned speech.
As bad as the debate performance was,I think the victory speech when he came in third was just as ridiculous.


I'd like too see a campaign ad for the Dems


"My name is Barack Obama and I know what
I am doing"

[backscatter712]

44. Just in, as of 6:00 or so Mountain Time. RubioBot glitches AGAIN!
