Watching and listening to Rubio makes me squirm.

There's something off about him, he talks too fast and his voice goes up in a weird way at the end of his sentences. He kind of reminds me of a 12 year old boy who spent hours and hour memorizing an oral report, and is in a hurry to get it all out before he forgets. Weird mix of eagerness and anxiousness.

Oh and he's sweating.

1. I can deal with that. It's his giant military that freaks me out. I can see it looming like a metrop

I responded by saying, "He has zero depth." My brother replied, "What does that mean?"

True story.

3. Agree -- he does sound over-rehearsed.

I might even go to a third grader. Twelve might be too mature.

I distrust Rubio from the word go. I didn't like his bad-mouthing the Senate within a mere 12 months of his being elected to it. He doesn't have anything to say worth hearing.

There's something at work behind his face that makes him seem awkward and weird. It's hard to imagine old school GOP power brokers warming up to Marco Rubio.

For a casino owner, Sheldon sure cannot pick candidates.
