rather than spooling off talking points or rehearsed sound bites. I think he is genuainely brilliant as is Obama. His interviews are the least packaged of all the candidates. Also the least defensive.

Has anyone else has noticed the similarities in tone and cadence of DOJ / FBI officials like Comey, Rosenstein, Strzok, McCabe, etc? Is that taught in FBI school or something?

Speaking coherently and thoughtfully about the topic under discussion. We have gotten too used to memorized talking points.
