QUESTION 1
PATTI, RIGHT OUT OF
THE GATE WE SAW HILLARY CLINTON AND DONALD TRUMP WALK ONSTAGE LAST NIGHT - AND
NOT SHAKE HANDS.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL
YOU ABOUT HOW THEY FELT COMING INTO THE DEBATE?
A handshake signals, "We are equals, I trust you, I am unarmed as we begin and we can be friends and equals when we finish this battle. A lack a handshake, show disrespect and creates fear and animosity.
QUESTION 2
TRUMP DID A LOT OF
PACING WHILE CLINTON WAS TALKING LAST NIGHT.
DOES THAT SHOW HE
WAS NERVOUS, OR JUST EAGER TO RESPOND?
His
bulk and circling are threatening. At that point he circles her during her turn
he is like a lion. going in with a biting attack then keeping his attack energy
going by continuing to move and circle.
QUESTION 3
AT TIMES TRUMP
SEEMED TO LOOM BEHIND CLINTON.
DOES THAT COME
ACROSS AS IMPOSING OR THREATENING?
QUESTION 4
LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE
WAS A TOWN HALL FORMAT, WHERE THE CANDIDATES ANSWERED QUESTIONS ASKED BY

DID THEY LOOK ENGAGED WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM?
