I agree with you in a lot of ways. George W. Bush’s presidency lost its wheels because he was unable and unwilling to communicate his core principles.
I’ve been saying it for a long time: part of a President’s job is being a fabulous salesman. I’ve caught a lot of flack for saying that around here, but as an executive, you have to sell an idea and rally those around you. You have to think on the cuff. You need to know and utliize all of the facts.
Thompson is a fabulous orator with a script, but on the fly??? Yes, the George W Bush comparisons, while overstateed, resurface.
Very much agreed.
