“With just a tiny bit of refinement, he could run for Congress...”

Personally, I think the overly nuanced, professional slicks that run for political office are excessively “refined” as it is. Refined to the point of absolute nausea in fact. I’ll take an honest person full of integrity with limited public speaking polish, such as President Bush, anytime over the Ivy League debating team.
And I’ll take Joe just the way he is.
She's genuine, but not a rank amateur at public speaking.
