Question about that debate: did Rubio physically LOOK like he was unable to handle stress?

[dixiegrrrrl]

Read something today that said
" Rubio, You clearly don't handle stress well and it's visible in your demeanor and physical appearance in these contests."

and since I did not see the debate, those of you with tougher hides might be able to answer.
Apparently Rubio does have a rather serious anxiety problem, as I have read in several places on the web.

1. Supposedly he suffers from anxiety . . .

"Though generally seen as cool-headed and quick on his feet, Rubio is known to friends, allies, and advisers for a kind of incurable anxiousness — and an occasional propensity to panic in moments of crisis, both real and imagined."

3. Yes, Rubio does not handle stress well and it is obvious.

When he was attacking Trump his forehead was shining from all the sweating he was doing, and he was licking his lips uncontrollably. Watching the man work his tongue and his nervous dry mouth was worse than watching a dog at the vet. He was just standing there waiting for the blows.

He had packed the audience with a fake cheer section, and so every time he attacked Trump they would scream in exaggeration. Rubio would then smile pathetically, and look like, "Oh wow! I'm doing well!? Should I keep going?!"

It was really sad and pathetic on so many levels. Then, of course, the media afterward wanted to hype the pathetic fool up as if he had done so well. It's more like he didn't malfunction on stage or utterly collapse.

Remember the Richard Nixon debate against Kennedy where Richard Nixon refused to wear makeup and started to sweat so badly under the lights? Well, Rubio looked worse than that, and he had caked on the makeup to try and prevent it. Even with all that planning ahead, he failed.

4. Excellent description of how he looked...

I DO see it in his eyes on videos, they dart around like flies, and he gets real stiff and tense.

doesn't sound like a good candidate for any position of responsibility.

15. Rubio's a rookie and Trump can prey on that

Rubio's no Obama, Obama in 2008 was a master compared to Rubio.
