Why, the Showman of course. He knows all the tricks of the spoken word.
Dr Paul isn't a showman. Actually, he's a bit of a "slow man." Not slow mentally, just the opposite.
But not that great with the spoken word. Not given much to the catchy phrase, the impressive anecdote, the ringing statement.
A quiet man, basically. Not a rabble rouser. Not one who will lead us on the barricades.
That's one of his charms. He makes us feel better because he's not a typical politiician.
Still, in dark times I wish he was more of a showman like Limbaugh, more of a charmer like Reagan.
A bit more of a demogogue.
If he were, he could perhaps not win the presidency on a 3rd party ticket, but he could create something strong enough to replace an all but dead GOP and be a true power-broker. Rather than just making 2 minute speeches on the floor of the House (intersting as those are).
