Here are my rough notes in preparation for my TV interview
Smiles
are a key nonverbal behavior to show “Likeability” one of the four first
impressions factors. Smile makes us feel safe as in, “Hey that guy is smiling
and looks like he would be safe to approach.” We like to see candidates give
sincere smiles. It feels especially good to see them smile as they talk about
something positive so there is an ideal emotional match to their smile.
I have researched
smiling including research as the National Spokesperson for the Natural Dentist
Toothpaste. They sponsored my research. We showed that the way you smile
reveals your DISC personality preference.
On the DISC personality inventory, DeSantis is C. Critiques tend to give brief subtle “closed mouth smiles with little arching,” but he has been coached to smile so he overdoes it and gives it when it doesn’t match what is being said, and he has to force it to be large and last so we see him paste it on, can’t keep it there drops off and expends enormous effort to turn it on again. Newsom has a resting smile face. He is an I, influencer, on the DISC which creates an advantage in Debates.
2 - NEWSOM’S TAKEDOWN AND DESANTIS’ RESPONSE
Note Newsom’s hand to chest, how is that going for you? To say he knows DeSantis should feel it. Notice how DeSantis gives a big smile and tries to hold, his subtle smile would have shown Newsom, “You’re not bothering me,” and at one point we see forehead brows, mouth turn down, smiling through my tears face, which was painful to watch.
a. Newsom: "You trolling folks and trying to find migrants to play political games and trying to get some news and attention so you can out-Trump Trump and by the way how’s that going for you? How is that going for you, Ron? You are down 41 points in your own home state.” (ends with Newsom pointing a finger)
3 - SOT DESANTIS NEWSOM FIL
a. DeSantis
“So I was talking to a fellow who had made the move from California to Florida
and he was telling me that Florida is much more governed, safer, much better
budgeted, lower taxes all this stuff and he was really happy with the quality
of life and then he paused and said ‘by the way, I’m Gavin Newsom’s
father-in-law.’ So, we do count Gavi’s in-laws as some of the people
who have fled California. (ends with Gavin smiling and looking at the camera).
Here we see Newsome enjoy the ribbing, he gives a big smile that comes more naturally, you see it rise and go up his full face, his cheeks his eyes change and go all the way up to lift his forehead., so it shows he is enjoying himself.
4 - SOT DESANTIS SF POOP MAP Talking point could have been funny if DeSantis’ nonverbal delivery had been playful, instead, he held his body stiff and gave loud gruff angry voice delivery and held his body stiff
DeSantis: “This is a map of San
Francisco. There are a lot of plots on that, and you may be asking what is that
plotting? Well, this is an APP where they plot the human feces that are found
on the streets of San Francisco. You can see how, just about, the whole map is
covered.”

SOT NEWSOM IMMIGRATION
(DESANTIS SAYING “FALSE”) What is interesting here is that Newsome, DeSantis
says the word, “False” the second time, and instead of an easy-going full face
flowing smile he actually grits his teeth, then his head and upper body dip
down and when he comes up we see him transform to an angry eyed glare.
Newsom: “You supported Obama’s efforts
to (DeSantis: that is false) advance comprehensive reform (DeSantis: “false”).
The last guy you want to talk to on immigration. Your immigration policy can
best be described as, “a governor from the state of Florida going into another
state, the state of Texas, and lying to migrants promising them jobs and
housing.”

DESANTIS GENDER QUEER BOOK Here DeSantis is delivering what he feels is a
serious message, so his emotions are in alignment with what he is feeling so it
comes off well.
“I have something that I brought that
some parents have objected to. This is a book that is in some of the schools in
California. In Florida, this is not consistent with our standards. Called
“Gender Queer.” Some have been blacked
out as you would not be able to show it on air, this is pornography, it is not
cartoons, it is aimed at children, and it is wrong.”
