My wife is a historian and very talented speaker who can deliver a well thought out message of just about any length without notes or a teleprompter. She is invited to speak at many events but every Veterans Day and Memorial Day there are usually politicians before and after her at the podium. She also has spoken at many Republican Party meetings over the years. The contrast is so shocking that typically the politicians will tell the organizers that they will not speak immediately before or after her at future events. They are so lame by comparison.
Afterward even at Republican party events people almost always approach her and berate the lame speeches by the politician and praise her. I do not understand how so many career politicians can be such awful speakers. It is actually incredible.

Most of them are morons.
The career politicians don’t usually have a compelling story. The average citizens do. It’s that simple.
