Consider this:

In politics more calamitous blunders have been made by the theory that an orator is a statesman than for any other reason.
The oratorical type is the emotional type, expansive, a quick promiser who can diagnose evils and cannot prescribe for them and of course rarely cures them.
The orator has fooled people as an executive ever since the ballot box was invented.
People think because a man talks smoothly, charmingly, pleasantly and promises largely, gorgeously and with a vehement show of sincerity, that he is going to do what he says.
- William Allen White (What it’s all about, pp.95-96)
