He’s a really poor speaker for a TV presenter.  Would have thought he could least pull off a speech. But I guess he’s just unqualified all around. [/quote]

He really is a poor public speaker.  As someone who went to Princeton and Harvard, it's pretty shocking that he's so poorly spoken.  [/quote]

Years of alcoholism probably caught up with him. [b]I'm wondering how he was admitted to Princeton undergrad.[/b] [/quote]

Athletic scholarship

"Hegseth studied at Princeton University, where he majored in politics. According to Reserve & National Guard Magazine, he chose Princeton over an offer from the United States Military Academy for Princeton's men's basketball program, the Tigers."[/quote]

Nah--I mean, he went to Princeton because he wanted to go to Princeton over West Point, not because he had some great basketball ambitions.  They called him a "recruiting afterthought."

Hegseth played varsity basketball and served as a company commander for the ROTC. On the basketball team he “patiently toiled in obscurity” for four years, according to The Daily Princetonian, which also described Hegseth as “a recruiting afterthought.” When he was called off the bench in March of his senior year and made two 3-pointers that allowed the Tigers to best Columbia, he “beamed as he reflected on taking a leading role.”[/quote]
