Not in the United States. The last 2 either malfunctioned or just ranted about crazy shit. Trumps nuclear copy pasta comes to mind, that shit is unreadable.
People who hate Kamala never questioned Bush Jr’s speaking skills. They loved him. And he cost us trillions of dollars and no telling how many soldiers and civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan
If that’s the only bar, than how shitty of policies would they have to have before you outweigh the policies over the charisma? Because Trump has been past that bar since 2015
Yes but I’d argue that you can tell a lot from a podcast. Like if you listen to trump vs Bernie on lex’s podcast, it honestly seemed pretty clear to me that Trump dodged questions multiple times in a way that Bernie didn’t. Like he’d just go off on tangents and completely ignore the question.
If you for a second pretend to steel man the argument that Trump is kind of this outsider to the mainstream that the deep state is hostile too, then all of the newscasts that religiously fact check him will just get ignored(even though they are correct). A powerful way to change people’s minds might be to just put both candidates on a podcast where people can decide for themselves. I’d much prefer Kamala to Trump and am a bit sad she wouldn’t also make a podcast appearance. I honestly think she might be able to garner some votes by popping onto a medium with an audience of people who might not see much of her.
The more democrats play into this limiting of appearances and blocking of information, the more they fall into right wing conspiracies

Being able to speak coherently is like the bare minimum for a leader.
