On Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, it’s worth reflecting that, as great as Ronald Reagan was, he followed in the footsteps of the greatest Republican communicator. That title belongs to the party’s first president. In reading Lincoln’s speeches, one can easily imagine how he would have responded to President Obama: powerfully, directly, clearly. Lincoln was exceptionally good at talking straightforwardly and forcibly to the American people. He was incredibly well-reasoned, folksy yet elevated, poetic yet plain-spoken. The key to victory for the GOP is putting forth and honing articulate, likable candidates with the capacity to emulate — in their own way, in their own vein — something of Lincoln’s outstanding rhetorical example.
