    That’s older politics. Speeches made the difference. Now is the dis track and highlights. The tweets and the memes. Sad but true.

      I said “leadership”. Flowery speeches and clever memes are fine, but what’s his vision, and how do we get there? At best, he offers minor tweaks to a system that’s starting to implode.

      Speeches were the memes back in the day. “Ask not” and “tear down this wall” and “read my lips” and so on.

        Oh they definitely were memed. But I don’t think speeches resonate as they once did. I personally find people reference memes and jokes more than policy and facts. Maybe it’s who I work with.
