Rubio. You can tell he thinks he's so right about everything and he's simply not.

Carson's hands creep me out.

Oh and everything about Kasich annoys me. His slouch. His wobbly arms. Ugh.

Rubio's most annoying trait is his economic plan. I can grow up to be a Uber driver! Who knew?!?!

By far the most irritating candidates for me are Trump (as explained in the poll) and Fiorina (tone plus inability to speak at the debate without constant blinking and her constant running over the time limit).

This doesn't quite qualify as a tic, but does anyone else find Fiorina's voice reminding them of Peggy Noonan?

I love Peggy Noonan to death and would never associate her with Carly Fiorina in any way.

Fiorina has a knack of simply ignoring questions, even for a politician. It's almost as bad as Graham

Now that you mention it yes. And I can't stand listening to either of them most of the time.

Fiorina's lecturing self-assuredness, which she uses to lie and exaggerate.

Fiorina is great at destroying Trump though. Her attack on his comments over her face and her assertion that he's a media whore were great moments.

Something is very wrong indeed. She can't tell the truth.

Carly Fiorina is the answer to any question starting with "who/which is more irritating". John Kasich's constant moving and talking down to people bugs me as well.

My favorite tic is Jeb Bush, looking amazingly confident when asked a question like he's going to hit a home run, and then gives an answer that gets him out before he gets to first base. Also, loving his shoulder wiggles.

Fiorina completely ignoring the time limits and continuing to drone on after being buzzed multiple times. Although part of that is on the moderators.

Pretending that Rubio becoming the 'establishment frontrunner' means a damned thing, when he's still polling at just over 10%.
