If you thought the FOX News GOP debate then the CNN debate was ten times as bad as the Fox one. CNN tried to pit candidate going after candidate, and as usual focusing in on getting candidates to bash Donald Trump. None really took the bait from CNN. There were a few swipes here and there at Trump. but nothing like what he’s given others. So what does CNN come up with today? Analyzing Donald Trump’s body language and comparing him to Mussolini. Wherever Candy Crowley is these days, she had to be smiling after Jake Tapper and Dana Bash’s pitiful performances last night.

While Trump’s opponents appear to be “wooden,” Givens says, Trump is “exceptional” at communicating with his body.
“Nobody has done it this well since John F. Kennedy. Or Mussolini,” Givens says, referring to the founder of Fascism, who ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943.
The message Trump communicates is that he’s the alpha male and a force to be reckoned with, says Nick Morgan, a communication expert and author of “Power Cues: The Subtle Science of Leading Groups, Persuading Others and Maximizing Your Personal Impact.”
When his opponents say something he doesn’t like, he purses his lips, much the way a parent might scowl at a misbehaving child. Trump faces his opponents with his torso, not just his head, showing he’s not afraid of them. Appearance is an important part of body language, and his voluminous hair speaks volumes, signaling he’s not afraid to be noticed.
This is of course the Clinton News Network, so it’s not really a surprise.
