This is an incredible admission of weakness from the leaf blower guy.

Imagine an athlete admitting this.

This is probably the first time he's rented to minorities before and he isn't charging them.

Hakeem Jeffries with a helluva speech.  

Idk about him as a Speaker of the House yet, but he is a fantastic orator.

I was just talking with a friend and we thought Hakeem is a lock for Speaker, but his oratorical style lacks something. He seems robotic to me, with limited vocal range and relatively fixed facial expressions.

I don't have a lot of expertise in evaluating those aspects of delivering a speech.   I've seen several times where he has had great alliteration and he can increase emotion.

Did you feel those opinions on the speech he just gave?

He does use a preacher’s cadence, but it feels mailed-in to me. Not that it matters much since he’s going to be named Speaker either way.
