RFK JR and his speaking voice...

I don't want to sound shallow... but his rare speech disorder, stemming from a rare disease called spasmodic dysphonia which affects the voice box is difficult to listen to.

When I hear him speak, he's straining and I strain to listen.

In fact, it's difficult for me to really pay attention to what he's saying.

I think this ONE thing, more than his anti-vax quackery will prevent him from "catching on" with the public.

Americans are shallow... we like people who present themselves well, like Barack Obama (Best POTUS ever)
