Rubio had "Flop-Sweat"

The internal dialogue goes something like this:

"OMG.. Am I blowing it?. . I'm sure this isn't coming out right.... Jeez HOW MANY people are watching this?... I'm finished, I just know it.. .. Maybe just a little sip to catch my breath. . Why did I let them talk me into this?"

Reince Priebus came in and made a call to the bullpen...

"Look Ricky we thought you were ready for the big leagues, but you have no control and you look gassed -- hand over the mic pack."

His body language was tense throughout...and it caught up with him. I'm guessing he felt his throat "phleming up" (or frogging) and was more concerned with losing his voice. It was a fight or flight type of reaction...especially when you see him look off screen and he sees the water glass. If he were giving a regular speech in front of the Ocala rotary club he wouldn't have gotten away with running for the water, but Mucus brainfarted for that brief second and proved in front of a worldwide audience that he isn't the "savior" of the rushpublican party...nor ready for prime time.

Cheers...

Long before he grabbed the water bottle, he kept wiping at his temples, first on one side and then on the other. Wiping up the flop sweat, or touching up the makeup?
