He is entertaining and talks to the people like he is having a beer in a bar with them. Not talking at them. He interacts with the crowd. His imitations of people are hilarious!
That's what's great. He's like the older folks at the holiday dinner (yikes, I'm one of them!) who have some really cool stories to tell, and wander from one thought to the next. Once you get into that weird convoluted but somehow connected train of thought and start wondering what's coming next, it's impossible to stop listening. All the while, that wise ol' codger is bringing you in to the story telling, and it's a mind-boggling intellectual and actually very funny adventure.
I can’t recall ever having fun watching a candidate for office giving a speech until now.
Can't remember doing that for any other candidate, ever. Usually I watch the nominating speeches at the conventions and that's about it.
I think the reason is that you never know what Trump is going to say. He doesn't use a script or a teleprompter so even though he might tell the same story, he always tells it a different way. He can also be much more topical in his speeches. For instance, today, he was talking about the event up in Massachusetts yesterday and about things that happened earlier that morning.
It's like a Grateful Dead concert. No song is ever played twice the same way.
