The extreme closeup really brought out his 5 o’clock shadow. Shades of Nixon, excellent message but poor imaging.

Wow you mean he’s real? No make up artist.

so? 5 o'clock shadows and any sort of facial growth is in style now. It is not 1960 anymore. :-)

Re the five o’clock shadow ... I think one of Rubio’s big image problems is the fact that he looks twelve. Maybe 22 on a good day. I think the slight stubble was on purpose. It made him look at least 30! LOL! (Seriously, it did age his face. I think his slight stubble was very carefully cultivated for the occasion.)
