I probably need to be less critical of our candidates' oratory skills in this venue. I sometimes mistake other environments for some of my old Poly Sci class discussions where we dissected politicians, their policies and their campaigning strengths and weaknesses with sharp knives.

I lived through JFK, LBJ, RFK, MLK, Malcolm X, HHH, Medgar Evers and, of course, BHO so I have pretty "expensive tastes" as far as oratory appreciation goes.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Does he holler a lot? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2019 #2

IMHO, too loud on the stump. He needs to dial it down a bit. mobeau69 Mar 2019 #3

CNN has been running a few-second long scene of him for about a week in which he's talking loudly. George II Mar 2019 #4

Yeah, that's it. mobeau69 Mar 2019 #5

That's a real tacit way to denigrate a fellow Democrat. TheBlackAdder Mar 2019 #7

It's my honest opinion that he comes on too loud and/or too strong sometimes. mobeau69 Mar 2019 #8

All passionate politicians like Bernie, Biden, Harris, O'Rourtke, Warren, etc. do it. TheBlackAdder Mar 2019 #9

imo, Bernie does it WAY to fucking much, Biden does a decent job of ebb and flow, same with Harris. Maru Kitteh Mar 2019 #11
