I thin Obama is a better classical orator by a mile. If you want a prepared statement, he is amazing. He struggles off the cuff, actually far worse than I would expect.
Trump is better speaking sincerely off the cuff. He has a command and sharpness, and a lot of humor. Trump's greatest strength as a politician has been speaking directly to the people. His success has certainly not been due to overwhelming media support.

Re: Hyper Sensitivity...when thoughts are enough
We've touched on Tropic Thunder before, and how it could never be made today, but it just goes to show the total pussification of society at large. Why is the liberal lynch mob not calling for Robert Downey Esquire and Ben Stiller's heads? 10 years ago, very few rumblings happened about the blackface, and it became a global box office hit. Even those that I know that didn't particularly like the movie as a whole, like RDJ in the flick.
But let's keep being whiny pussies liberals, it's a great look. Especially on Halloween.

He just beat out like a dozen establishment Republicans to win that party's nomination, and then upset Clinton, who everyone had written into history in permanent ink. Clearly dumb.

Not so much. I am talking about a set-up where a dumb character is "schooled" on blackface to make it into a social message.
