Pundits, and for the sake of this conversation I would include us in that category as well, really care about how polished a communicator someone is. I don't think the vast majority of voters do. You do have to cross a minimum threshold, but once you get beyond that, I think what you say matters a whole lot more than how you say it.

Makes me wonder how Gabby Giffords would have faired if she kept going in electoral politics. Actions speak louder than words and she’s become the best at it. I imagine there was some sit down family discussion of who is running for Senate in 2018? “You or me?” ❤️

Yeah. It takes a lot of energy to talk on the phone with strangers and ask for money.
