Anytime the verbal language and the body language are contradictory - it's the body language which is always correct. Everyone, Politicians included, send out these disparate messages constantly - and yet few can spot the specific signals consistency.
In this short video segment from the Republican Debate last night in Las Vegas, we see an excellent example of this nonverbal rule.
Beginning at 0:44 Dr. Ben Carson says, "Right now, the United States of America is the patient - and the patient is in critical condition - and will not be cured by political correctness - and will not be cured by timidity."
This image captured as Dr. Carson says, "timidity", again shows his low level of assertiveness and low self-confidence.
