"You shut your mouth when you're talking to me." So goes the line from the classic American film "Wedding Crashers." A line that I took to heart as I watched a good chunk of Monday night's presidential debate on mute.

Why? Not because I couldn't bear to hear what the candidates said. Instead, I wanted to analyze the nonverbals (which go a long way to determining likability) without distraction. Yes, optics matter.

She was playing to the demoRATS colors. Just like most men where the color of their party when debating. Although I know a lot Asians would disagree with you. The thing is no matter what Hitlary wears or doesn’t wear isn’t at all flattering for her.

I guess any public figure who hires PR people gets some coaching in body language. Paying too much attention to it would just make Trump look fake - like Hillary, who I’m sure has been ‘coached’ to the skin of her teeth, but still can’t overcome her innate stiffness and insincerity.
