Word of the Day: Demeanour
In an American presidential debate, the demeanour of the candidates is observed.
Your demeanour is the way you look and behave, such as how often you smile, frown, look frustrated, or feel confident.
Political analysts, with their keen eye and expertise, dissect the candidates’ every smile, frown, and expression of frustration or confidence, shedding light on the underlying messages.
According to many analysts, Hillary Clinton had the demeanour of a confident presidential candidate and Donald, that of an unprepared presidential candidate.
Sometimes, the candidate’s demeanour is more important than what they say.
Some candidates have had great ideas but lost the debates because of their appearance and behaviour.
