Trump is the 'master of body language'

As the Democratic Primary season heats up, the question being whether any of the remaining candidates have a chance against US President Donald Trump.

Australia's leading body language expert, Dr Louise Mahler has cast her eye over the field of candidates and the news is not good if you want to see the current president out of the White House.

"Donald Trump is the master of body language. He uses every trick in the book to actually get people on board, to engage his audience, to work with people so they come with him," Ms Mahler told Sky News.

"He uses his arms out as a major tool - his palms are out," she said.

The next democratic debate has been all but confirmed to be a showdown between Senator Bernie Sanders and former vice president Joe Biden.

Ms Mahler said Joe Biden is the "most conservative choice" based on his body language.

"He just takes his position safe and sure - he doesn't move - he has no gestures, he smiles nicely. He doesn't have any power in his body."

The pair make up the final three candidates after Senator Elizabeth Warren dropped out the race.

Hawaii representative Tulsi Gabbard is still running her campaign but doesn't make debate qualifications after dismal national polling numbers.

The two front runners will face off in Phoenix on March 15.

The former VP is leading the delegate count after a shock comeback on Super Tuesday with 652 delegates pledged to support him compared with 573 for Bernie Sanders.

When asked about Bernie Sanders, Ms Mahler said "his airflow is strong - he keeps fighting and against Trump, I think he'd have a really good argument".

"You'd think he's old, hunched angry but he just keeps going," she said.

"He breaks all the rules. He points. He thrusts. He gestures. I think he's doing it on a conscious level to get people to relate with him."
