I almost never listen to what they say. It is how they behave as they are speaking, walking, sitting, how they interact with what is around them. Words are cheep; buy them at your own peril.
You mistake mannerisms due to physical problems for character ...
Would you trust your life, your family’s lives to this or that politician?
“You mistake mannerisms due to physical problems for character”
Are you serious? I don’t judge by mannerisms at all. That is what you say you do.
“It is how they behave as they are speaking, walking, sitting, how they interact with what is around them”
That is a strange way to evaluate, considering how you NEVER get to see a presidential candidate do anything other than wave and speak.
“Would you trust your life, your family’s lives to this or that politician?”
No, but do we have a choice in the matter? All our leaders are politicians. Elected politicians, likely as not, usually get innocent people killed. Obama was elected; he has charted a course that will destroy many people for many years who may have not voted for him. Illegals have killed many thousands of Americans. Lay that at the feet of George W Bush and Obama.
