Whenever I hear Trump speak, I get the impression I am at his house having a cup of tea and chit chatting about what is going on in the world and out lives. No other candidate is that way.
La Guardia had it, so did Teddy Roosevelt. Is it a NYC thing? Maybe, maybe not.
Remember the political old saw about who do you want to have a beer/coffee/whatever with? Trump has that and in spades !
