I've noticed that he has a similar speech pattern to GWB.
I'll keep a straight face until I here you explain this. Make it good.

I'll do my best to explain it. First, I miss Reagan. I loved his command of the language and his ability to explain and educate people on the conservative philosophy. He was way more than "just an actor" as he was conveying a life long belief system. He might have been an older man, but he was sharp and articulate.

Enter FDT. I didn't start out thinking like this. I am familiar with FDT the actor and with FDT on the radio to Paul Harvey's audience. But, the few times I've heard him speak, off the cuff, no script, there are too many "ahh's" and "ummm's". He writes well, and I bet he'd give some amazing speeches, but when it comes to unscripted verbage? From what little I've seen/heard so far, he either sounds older than his years or he reminds me of GWB.

That's not enough for me to not support him, but I would like a president who can persuade and educate. Reagan was the master. Speaking was one of Clinton's few strengths. Judging FDT only by his radio commentary, I'd say he's similar to Reagan...until I hear him speaking unscripted. It's not a deal breaker, but it's important to me.
