Did you forget what Bush sounded like? He was an awful public speaker.

He dumbed it down to satisfy his base... and they loved it...

It's amazing the wanna be and current union members on this forum that have no clue what it means to be a union pilot... but they sure want those union benefits....

If you turned off Obama’s prompter his speech finesse was significantly reduced...

Most accounts I’ve read and heard about W indicate that he was no bumbling idiot away from the cameras.

of course not... but his voters and base were... you've got to know your audience...

It's the same with Trump... only worse...

He’s President and Hillary isn’t. Draw whatever conclusion you want from that. My personal belief is if she had just passed on the cheap shot of calling Trump voters “deplorable” she probably would have squeaked in.

Hubris goes before a fall...

No I am suggesting that Trump Voters are looking for payback (MAGA) for eight years of Obama.... to right a wrong..

combine that with Bernie voters in the primary who voted for Trump ... and that is how the bumbling idiot on/off camera got elected...

HRC told WV/OH voters your coal jobs aren't coming back... Trump lied and said they were coming back... the coal jobs are not back...

There is the adage... hurt me with the truth, don't comfort me with a lie...

Who is the fool? HRC or the Trump voter thinking his coal job is back...

Wait you are calling W and Trump supporters idiots when a green new deal is put out by Democrats and supported by all the major democratic candidates? You know the one where it would cost Tens of Trillions of dollars to enact, has no specifications on how to get what they want in it and AOC only comeback when asked about how to pay for it or implement it was that she is the boss.

This is the new democratic messiah and you have the nerve to accuse Trump supporters of being stupid?

As my daddy once said if brains were dynamite AOC couldn't blow her nose.

You realize the GND is just a framework for things to shoot for. If it was passed, it would literally do nothing. It won't get passed anyway. Your stupid conservative fear mongering news sites are creating this buzz over legislation that carries the same weight as one that says congrats to world series winners.
