21. I agree. He's a bit strident for my taste.
He's got a hard core audience of true believers.

He's got passion. They've got passion. Passion is good. But....

1. Ya gotta get non-true believers to listen also.

2. The general idea is that you have to be *persuasive*. That means making true believers out of agnostics (political, that is) and non-true-believers.

Otherwise , why bother going on the air at all? I prefer advocates that are willing and able to communicate with the other side.
