It gives me hope that the goodness of most Americans will ultimately prevail over the poisonous Trump/GOP toxin.

it's just who he is. people will always complain about something. but he is himself when he does that and it shows he is passionate about what he is talking about.

communicate not only with their voice but with their hands/arms, facial expressions, varied tone of their voice, etc.

I find that a lot of politicians tend to stand completely still, never change expressions and speak in a sort of monotone way. I can't even watch the ones like that. I think some try to come across with a soft, soothing or calm voice and I just hate that. I want a joyful, hopeful message that fires me up in a GOOD way. I do NOT want to be put to sleep.
