What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another?
Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

Bring back well spoken orators.
Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Yet another reminder that whatever other weaknesses or even political strengths he may have, Donald Trump is honestly one of the worst orators with a prepared address in the history of human rhetoric

CHAD SOPHIST Polus has FALLEN in the rankings after being THOUGHT MOGGED by THINKMAXXER Socrates, who argues it is better to suffer an injustice than to commit one, causing Polus to CRASH OUT in front of the Athenian orators

100 percent. I think he benefits from what most great orators benefit from: he knows himself—and more importantly, he talks to (and understands) what moves people. And, as far as I can tell, he believes what he’s saying.

Watching Mamdani, Ossoff, and Obama, it's reminder that Democrats have some truly fantastic orators. Republicans haven't had a great one since Reagan.

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

It appears that the Democratic Socialists in government, candidates and winners have cornered the market on intelligence, (inside and out) attractiveness, high EQ, great orators, popular progressive policies, humor, charm and great dance moves

Because when Democrats tune into the Democratic National Convention, they don’t want to hear a speech from one of the best orators in the party.
No, no, they want to hear David Brooks offer his pearls of wisdom

Cosplay Socialists are dismissing the Cory Booker filibuster as performative. Rally speeches in red states are also performative but that hasn't stopped leftists from hailing those orators as the front runners for the 2028 Democratic nomination.
