as a speech nerd I will say on the trail in 2000 GWB was a vastly superior public speaker than Gore. Used his relatability well.

Agreed, but that's a low bar. At his best, GWB was a very good orator, but not great.

Gore was horrible, and Hillary isn't much better. (At her best, she's satisfactory.)

Yet George Bush the Elder was among the all-time worst public speakers.

But we could read his lips!

On the other hand, maybe his Read-My-Lips promise wasn't so dumb, because he was elected to "Reagan's Third Term."

A politician promising whatever the voters want to hear to get elected? Inconceivable!
