[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janeese solidly won the forum held at the GWU Mt Vernon campus on Tuesday night. She has very serious oratory skills and won over an audience that seemed quite skeptical initially given the various efforts to depict her as a tax-and-spend socialist. Kenyon’s responses got better as the evening progressed, but he was very inspiring.[/quote]

This astroturfing is exhausting. [/quote]

DP, how do we know you're not the one astroturfing?[/quote]

Because I'm not gushing about my boss's "serious oratory skills" "solid[ly winning] a forum held at the GWU Mt Vernon campus on Tuesday night"?  It's like an intern used ChatGPT to come up with a glowing Yelp review.[/quote]

To be more clear: if this was a real human person who attended the forum and wanted to report back about what they observed, they would talk about a particular issue or answer that they thought she responded to well.  Not bland platitudes about how incredible she is and how she obviously won everyone over even though she's facing skeptics.  It's just so completely typical at this point that it's all "SHE'S GREAT" with zero substance.  Great on what?  What question did Kenyon answer poorly at the beginning of the night?  How did you see the audience was won over?  Oh, no details whatsoever?  'kay.

Serious "and then everybody clapped" energy.[/quote]

I am a real person, attended the event, and wrote the post you are commenting on. I have absolutely no affiliation to JLG and disagree with her on many issues. There is nothing specific that I can recall that won me over, but her responses generally conveyed that she was informed, sincere, and pragmatic (which, it may surprise you to learn, is what a good orator does). I was genuinely interested to learn more about KMcD, but his responses came across as bland and canned. Now we could have a discussion about whether the general public infers far too much from oratory skills (Marco Rubio comes to mind as someone whose oratory skills far surpass his ability to craft good policy), but I’m not sure what the point of that would be when you are so eager to dismiss anyone who has anything good to say about a candidate that is not the one you support.[/quote]
