The catalyst for this was the Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio spar when Bush accused his competitor of poor work ethic because of absenteeism during his time as Senator.

In the case of Rubio: Tone spoke louder than words!

Rubio's calm, confident and authentic response resonated much louder and appears to have garnered more praise than Jeb's jab.

This is a lesson in how important proper preparation for any presentation requires strong consideration and rehearsal on how content is delivered. 

My humble advice to the  presidential candidates is to spend as much time rehearsing your presentation as  writing the content.
