He’d walk a fine line with that delivery style of his ideas.
Some “middle road” voters are more squeamish and “sensitive” than we are and might misinterpret his “fire breathing” delivery as the rantings of a “raving, rabid, right-wing lunatic”.
“Fiercly adamant” is a well planned kind of delivery for those who may be too faint of heart to deal with “fire breathing”.
[though I much prefer the latter myself]...:)
I agree that forcefully adamant is the right style, sounding like you truly believe what you’re saying. Unfortunately, JM sometimes sounds way too unforceful in his statements, esp. when he’s trying to come across as the grand old patriarch, the wise one.
He also did a certain amount of stumbling through the most important parts of his speech today, which resulted in the impression of uncertainty where he least wanted it. I’m thinking now that some of that might have been due to the mental disruption of the protestors making themselves known (although you couldn’t hear them at that point).
You know when he was at his best? When he started telling the protestors to get their idol Obama to come to town hall meetings and debate him. He was very passionate, very articulate on that.
