DeSantis carefully moves to end Trump dominance of GOP

[Arcangl86]

For pretty much his entire term Obama blamed Bush for everything negative in the world.

That's nice. What does that have to do with either my post or the post it was in response to?

By a certain group of people, sure. But one is being disingenuous if they suggest that Obama was not a great orator. Certainly far superior than either Trump or Biden.

I agree that Obama was a great orator. That didn't stop him from being attacked for using a teleprompter, with the implication that they were responsible for his speaking skill. Yes, even with a teleprompter Biden is a worst speaker, but since the same criticism was used against Obama, it makes sense to discuss the parallels.

There is merit to the criticism with Biden while there really was none with Obama. Reference the video I posted earlier in the thread. This is the leader of the free world unable to remember which country he is talking about and having an internal dialogue about what he should and shouldn't do out loud at the podium in front of the world. Not even remotely comparable to Obama.

While I disagreed with many of Obama's policy positions, there's no denying that he was a pretty good orator, so I have no idea why you would draw such a bizarre comparison.

Because the same people were claiming that Obama needed a teleprompter:
Cathie Adams, former Texas GOP chair and current Texas Eagle Forum president, gave a pre-election address earlier this year, claiming that a “Marxist” President Barack Obama had “fried his brain on drugs.”

It's kind of a generic republican attack. It's not about reality; it's just a way to know the political orientation of the person doing it.

But one is being disingenuous if they suggest that Obama was not a great orator.

Reagan was a great orator, but for all his good intentions and fine orations, he messed up a lot.

I hear Trump may be running for congress so he can take over as speaker of the House.

???

The Speaker Of The House does NOT need to be an elected House member. Trump can be speaker without running for anything. In fact, this should be kept in the minds of all Republicans. If they win the majority in the House, there may be a serious fight for the speakership. McCarthy is certainly NOT a lock. IMO, both Jordan and Trump are more likely.
