I’ve watched a number of the CPAC speeches, I think Hawley is one of the better speech givers...he can put together his thoughts without a bunch of notes and at times walked away from the podium and kept the speech going with enthusiasm....
I live in Florida and love the job DeSantis has done, if I had to give him one piece of advice, start giving a bunch of speeches he needs polish up his public speaking skills, don’t rely so much on the notes and make it more entertaining....his biggest issue is he doesn’t give a great speech and the enthusiasm isn’t great......
Trump was not a great public speaker but he could keep the enthusiasm up with ad lib and hold the attention of the crowd for over 1 hour....
The other person who I thought has some polish as a public speaker is Rick Grennell
Trump maybe isn’t a great public speaker (although I may have a quarel with that), but he connects with the audience. He could go an hour and still hold the crowd. He can go off the script, engage in an entertaining tangent, circle back, tell jokes, and still bring it home. I don’t know if anyone in politics could do what Donald Trump does on the stump.
