Presidential debates are often assessed based on body language as much as they are based on what candidates say. Some people are saying Donald Trump’s body language in the first 2016 presidential debate didn’t help him.

Will the interrupting and aggressive posture toward the first female presidential major party nominee hurt Trump with women?

It did with some, but the question is whether it will affect the polls or the general electorate. That is as of yet unclear.

That body language at the end, Trump looming over her and touching her back – that is Pure Sexist Ogre — Thers (@Thers) September 27, 2016

When you watch Hilary vs. Trump w/ volume off, the body language and demeanor says it all, literally. #ImWithHer — Alicia (@alicialove___) September 27, 2016

Other candidates have been undone by body language in debates. Many people remember how Al Gore lost ground against George W. Bush by appearing excessively exasperated in a debate. “Vice President Al Gore just couldn’t hide his exasperation. Especially not after Republican operatives spliced together a clip of him sighing and sighing again and again during his first presidential debate against George W. Bush,” said CNN.

One analyst told USA Today before the debate that Trump’s body language has flaws: the expert said she “admires Trump’s communications skills, some of his ticks and tendencies drive her crazy, because they distract an audience from his message (“It’s called ‘noise.’ You just get sick of it.”) or contradict it.” However, the analyst also had criticism for Clinton’s body language, telling the newspaper, “Clinton sometimes gives a little shrug while she’s making a point, which suggests subconscious uncertainty about what she’s saying.”

And who can forget the famous debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, in which the younger, handsome Kennedy simply looked better on TV? Some drew analogies.

Hillary Clinton is JFK and trump is Nixon, watch that debate and you'll understand. Its all about body language — Parker Wells (@parkerwells1083) September 27, 2016

More than one person made this analogy, especially due to Trump’s sniffling as well as his interrupting:

Can we compare #debatenight Clinton/Trump spilt screen to Nixon/JFK debate. Nixon body language seriously hurt him in polls. #debate pic.twitter.com/ZwHIEXozTn — Joy Farrington (@JoytheLitDiva) September 27, 2016

Rick Lazio warned Trump about the perils of debate body language. He lost the 2000 New York Senate race to Hillary Clinton, and many observers attributed the loss to women voters disliking it when Lazio was perceived to have invaded Clinton’s space during the debate. As The New York Daily News put it, Lazio’s “senatorial hopes were dashed when he waltzed up to opponent Hillary Clinton during their 2000 debate.”

Whether Trump constantly interrupting Clinton – especially in the first part of the debate – will similarly be turned into a campaign attack is something that time will tell.

Some people also analyzed the body language of the candidates’ families.

Do you want to know the outcome of tonight's debate and who won it? Just look at the body language of the 2 camps! pic.twitter.com/hojk6VGhWI — Farah Aw-Osman (@awosman) September 27, 2016

On ABCnews the Trump kids are trying to calm him. Lots of arm touches. Lots of settle down body language. #DebateNight #debates2016 — Baritone Lone Moose (@pr3sidentspence) September 27, 2016

But maybe “body language” is in the eye of the beholder:

However, some didn’t like Hillary Clinton’s body language, either.

Clinton's body language during that debate was the body language of EVERYONE who's had to listen to a rambling fool drone on about himself. https://t.co/DQFovccgie — Heather Corinna (@heathercorinna) September 27, 2016

#Hillary won the "scripted zingers" debate, but #Trump won the "body language" debate. Research since the 1960s shows latter matters more. — Jim Rickards (@JamesGRickards) September 27, 2016

@FoxNews @brithume Mr Hume! Your analysis of the body language way off based! Trump was listening intently and HC BL, holier than thou — Charlie Turner (@cwturner50) September 27, 2016

But Trump’s body language did not get rave reviews on Twitter.

Trump was defensive, body language was unconfident with odd facial expressions, interrupting. No command of policy issues. @realDonaldTrump — Matt Chessen (@mattlesnake) September 27, 2016

Regarding Trump's body language, even #msnbc said "if Trump was on a plane, you would ask him if he were on medication." — Sandie Reed (@SandieReed) September 27, 2016

Whether it moves votes? Time will tell.
