I like Klobuchar. But I am wondering why she's shaking.

It seemed particularly noticeable tonight.

If it's a medical condition, we need to know.

If it's too much caffeine, she needs to cut back.

I think one of the SNL skits even riffed off it.

I think she's just nervous up there sometimes, and sometimes the body does what it wants.

In every debate, not just this one. So I wonder if it's nervousness or being jittery.

No need to, he'll just tweet his childish insults and his ignorant base will cheer him on.

her cool when he pushes back. She is too thin-skinned for me. Trump would 1000 times worse than Buttigieg as well.

why Warren inhales audibly, Biden trips over his words, and Bernie is hunched over.

(No, I don't.)

I think she has adrenaline flowing. Most of us would.
