    Pretty sure I heard Bush, before running, presented as well spoken and intelligent. Somewhere along the way he was told that would be off-putting to many voters and to dial it back a bit.

      Yeah there were old vids of him doing debates, IIRC and he was rather sharp and they were contrasted with the way he came off during his two terms, and he seemed…less sharp, let’s say.
