Leftists have no standards. They think Hillary is great because she is a Marxist.
Conservatives require a bit more.
If I am complaining, it is because I know Sarah could win and be a great president...but she has to polish the way she speaks.
Cheese and crackers.
It was required of Maggie Thatcher...why is it so wrong for Sarah?
She doesn't have to change noticeably...but develop a pattern of speech that matches her capability.
Yes, I know you love Sarah just as she is...but she can't get elected just as she is.
She is too much of a target for the Liberals.
She can overpower her enemies (which she must do)...it starts with developing a pattern of speaking that is true but still powerful.
The heart has no accent...it has only the truth.
Barney Fife might have had a spirit commensurate with that of Shakespeare. But it would have improved his chances immensely if he could have empowered his speech.
Sometimes that comes naturally (as it did with Churchill)...sometimes a little practice and training helps.
OK then lets look rightward. Explain how Lincoln and all pre radio/TV presidents got elected when most people never saw, much less heard them. Because ideas matter. And only a shallow idiot bases their vote on a voice.
