Was thinking this weekend about why some candidates on the Democratic side are having trouble breaking through while others are not, and back to 2016 and the same issue with Republicans. Wondering if the macro-level concept of "Presidential Voice" has something to it. Jeb, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, etc. should have been better candidates in the last election than Trump, but they lacked the right way of saying the things that they wanted to say--that self-confidence in what they want to say and how best to convey it--that Trump had, that Obama had, that W and Clinton had, etc.
And then I look at 2020, and the people that are most likely to break out of the pack and be surprises are Buttigieg, Kamala, Bernie--people that again have a perspective, but are able to convey that in a way that the listener can understand and differentiates them from the crowd. I don't see that with Warren, Klobuchar, etc., and I will be interested if Biden has it--I don't think he does.
Do you guys buy into the importance of Presidential Voice as a subconscious thing?
