Why should this be surprising. I disagree with several of the policy proposals he put forward.

Also, I don't see where I said at all that I'm concerned more with delivery than substance. I said you shouldn't remain ignorant of the delivery if you want to have a sense of the impact. I'm sure you're perfectly capable of actually watching the speech and then sniffing it is just old fashioned liberalism but then you'd also have a sense of how it played to everybody.

Rightly or wrongly, delivery has a huge impact on political success and ignoring it is misguided.

I was surprised because you typically analyze.

Here's what you said that made me think that -

Well, you might want to care more about delivery because I think I can guarantee that very few people are going to be seeking the dispassion of reading it.

Telling me that I should be more soncerned with the delivery to me meant that I should care more about it that what was said. If you didn't mean that, then I misunderstood you.
