We all know that Ronald Reagan was "The Great Communicator" and that Hillary Clinton is one of the most painful-to-watch speakers in contemporary politics. Now, via HotAir, I find this video intercutting Reagan and Clinton telling the same joke, and it's amazing to see the stark difference. Is it any wonder that one politician changed the trajectory of history, and the other is headed for history's dustbin?
