Ronald Reagan was a truly inspiring speech-giver long before he participated in a handful of presidential debates.
He remained an inspirational speaker throughout his presidency, where he gave speeches that were 180-degrees out in tone and content to answers given in the debates.
Newt has never been an inspirational speaker. He’s a major policy wonk and that is all that comes through when he’s not on in his practiced “Simon Cowell” mode.
Again, that doesn’t mean he would be an epic fail as a communicator in the White House. But if one thinks they’re going to see the Simon Cowell schtick then, they’re dreaming. At least I hope so.
I do not want a person who does the Simon Cowell schtick in the White House. And I don’t believe Gingrich does either. Thus, his “fans” will be sorely disappointed on this one aspect, I’m afraid.
