Before and after the debate: do not shake hands. Elbow bumping or bowing Japanese style

or... Hawaiian greeting of a Shaka sign, also known as the “hang loose” gesture…. ? What is it?

Most here are doing a quick, knuckles only fist bump.

And to me that works. The last thing I want is our candidates bowing to each other. Total not our cultural thing.

And the whole elbow thing brings me way to close to the other person. Besides being awkward as hell.
