Who are our best Senate communicators?

Which Senator(s) best steps to the mic and reliably delivers passionate and persuasive oratory? Who reaches the average American with fury and common sense? Who are you glad to see on a screen?

I'm clearly not nominating Schumer although he tries. I see these qualities in Bernie, Warren, Booker, Murphy. Klobuchar is serious and passionate. Same for Whitehouse, Hirono. Are there any true firebrands other than Bernie and Warren?

I know I've missed some. That's why I'm writing this.

Our future Senate leadership must exhibit fire, energy, passion, hope......who?

I personally would not put Klobuchar on the list, but I take no issue over someone else doing so.

I think we should make Walz the head of the DNC when his term runs out. Get back to, "They're weird" and "mind your own damn business" and whatever else he comes up with.
