One of the most recent favorite toys the news industry loves to pull out of their bag of tricks is the “body language expert.”
Each organization seems to have their own people who deliver a certain message. They give the air of authenticity as well as being impartial. This is a very important commodity for a news organization to have, or at least give the appearance of having.
During the Fox News GOP primary debates, just about every news channel had their own experts analyze every aspect of the candidates body language. Not all the experts agreed, but here is my take on what the consensus had to say about the candidates
Scott Walker
Generic republican ken doll that comes with most GOP play sets. Walker seems very rehearsed and very much so a follower of the pack. He did not jump out as an “Alpha” personality. He bragged about being “normal” at one point I think. He’s a “Meh” candidate.
Marco Rubio
Rubio came across as almost reasonable. I think that was his mission, and he succeeded.
That is just to name a couple who really stood out to me. More later on this.
