He BARELY spoke when he was running. That was just ONE of his biggest problems, he is a HORRIBLE public speaker. I have heard better sounding traffic accidents. He was so BORING!! DRY TOAST! NO FIRE IN THE GUT! WIMPY! NO ZEAL! I hope that gets the point across. If he spoke at the convention he would put everyone asleep.
Makes me wonder how many great presidents we didn't elect because the other guy was "prettier" or the candidate in question didn't speak with a "fire in his gut".
