It \u2063tells stories that\u200c canned speeches do not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Navarro, \u2063all of the candidates revealed clues about how\u200d they were feeling as they went toe-to-toe with each other on the debate stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Ron DeSantis<\/h3>\n<p>Florida Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desantis-cuts-off-fox-news-moderator-middle-climate-change-stunt-not-school-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ron DeSantis<\/a>, Navarro said, underscored his reputation as a very serious man with his stern-faced replies\u2063 and \u200cfurrowed eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis lips quivered.\u200d He also \u200blooked almost angry. His voice was\u2063 forceful and lacked modulation,\u2063 which made it hard \u2064for viewers to distinguish his \u200bmost important points,\u201d Navarro wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Navarro added that DeSantis \u201cmay not have communicated likeability\u201d but did relay how serious he is about \u2063the issues.<\/p>\n<h3>Vivek Ramaswamy<\/h3>\n<p>Entrepreneur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/christie-accuses-ramaswamy-plagiarizing-obama-vivek-claps-back-bear-hug-comment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a> \u201cconsistently looked the most comfortable on stage, almost as if he was having\u2062 fun,\u201d Navarro reckoned. Indeed, Ramaswamy at times stole the show from his seasoned political \u200drivals.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/opinion-desantis-derangement-syndrome-is-spreading\/\" title=\"OPINION: \u2018DeSantis Derangement Syndrome\u2019 Is Spreading\">dark horse candidate<\/a> also communicated\u2063 very effectively. \u201cHis \u200bgestures were the broadest and the most emphatic of the pack,\u201d Navarro\u200d said.<\/p>\n<h3>Chris Christie<\/h3>\n<p>Navarro felt that former New Jersey Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chris-christie-attempts-spin-vicious-booing-received-debate-cnn-host-seems-unconvinced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Christie<\/a> remained\u2064 calm and confident throughout the night and used a \u2064subtle tactic to \u2063stand\u200b out from the rest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe used his laser-like eyes more than anyone else, boring into his opponents, narrowing his eyelids to emphasize his message and arching his eyebrows to intensify his words,\u201d \u200bNavarro explained.<\/p>\n<h3>Mike Pence<\/h3>\n<p>Former\u2062 Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pences-rookie-attack-draws-overwhelming-boos-heated-clash-vivek-ramaswamy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Pence<\/a> was very understated at first, Navarro said. \u201cOver time, however, he opened up: His gestures became more vigorous, his voice changed in modulation and he used his eyebrows like punctuation marks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pence\u2019s passion \u200cwas evident when he talked about the events of Jan. 6\u200d and\u2064 when he jousted with Ramaswamy over the state of American culture: \u201cPence\u2019s tightly compressed lips had one unequivocal message: You are wrong,\u201d Navarro wrote.<\/p>\n<h3>Tim Scott<\/h3>\n<p>South Carolina\u200d Sen. Tim Scott, Navarro said, resembled a preacher at the pulpit with his cadences and hand gestures. \u201cHe comes across as a strong yet approachable man with plenty of gravitas,\u201d Navarro added.<\/p>\n<h3>Nikki Haley<\/h3>\n<p>Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley seemed to be steeling for a fight\u2062 with her set jaw and demonstrative gestures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt revealed her strong will, her passion and her years of experience,\u201d Navarro said of her clash with \u200bRamaswamy. \u201cHer body\u200b language \u2063told her opponents that she is not to be trifled with.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Two Non-Entities<\/h3>\n<p>As for the little-known Asa Hutchinson and Doug Burgum, Navarro thought they came \u2063across as \u201cgenuinely \u2064friendly and approachable,\u201d but they were too \u201cunaggressive\u201d to be much of a presence onstage.<\/p>\n<p>Is Navarro right?<\/p>\n<p>Scott did himself no damage, but he didn\u2019t really move the needle, \u2062either. Christie went on the \u2062attack but was booed viciously. Pence has no chance whatever, and neither does Haley.<\/p>\n<p>About the only two who seemed\u2062 commanding were \u200cDeSantis \u2062and Ramaswamy, who are currently in\u200d second \u2062and third place, respectively, \u2064in the GOP race.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/body-language-expert-analyzes-gop-candidates-really-feeling-debate\/\">Body Language Expert Analyzes How GOP Candidates Were Really\u2064 Feeling During Debate<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western \u2062Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the Real Debate Story: Politico published nonverbal communication specialist Joe Navarro&#8217;s analysis, stating that the true essence of the GOP primary debate lied in the candidates&#8217; body language.
