A wave of replies argues that thinking before speaking, rather than being spontaneous, is a strength for a politician, turning Politico's premise back against the outlet.

Look at Politico trying to make “Jon Ossoff thinks before he speaks” into a bad thing
-
No one is “shooting from the hip.” Ossoff is finally saying what the base has been shouting for two years.
-
Jon Ossoff is going viral for telling the truth. A concept alien to the Republican Party.
-
Politico has Alex Hernandez and Erin Doherty working overtime today. Two front page hit jobs on Senator Jon Ossoff on the Politico main page!
-
So, a disciplined candidate. We need more of those.
-
he is also very hot... y'know for female voters.
-
Good for him! You don’t bring strongly worded letters to a fight for democracy, nor tepid responses about your stance on important matters. Schumer and Jeffries are failing us all, I’m cool with more decisive people like Ossoff.
-
Shooting from the hip too often leads to having to walk something back, give an explanation, retract what was said. Thinking something through and saying exactly what you mean rarely does. Being an adult in politics is superb. This is really good to know. Says what he means. Means what he says.
-
I suspect Jon Ossoff didn't make any unplanned or off-the-cuff remarks. Bet they were all thought-out beforehand.
-
Oh, so he thought about what he wants to say beforehand?? What a concept!
-
Ah I got it now. Fight fire with fire - MSM gets angry. Do it in a controlled manner - MSM mad. Take the high road - MSM upset. No can win.
-
Good for him....other Dems. should not follow his lead because voters around the country do not care about Natalie Harp....they want to hear Dems. talk about solutions that will help reduce/lower their cost of living. Cost of living and economy are the top two issues in polls, not Natalie Harp.
-
You can almost smell the contempt Politico had in having to write a story about a guy who is kicking Trump’s ass around the block.
-
Sounds pretty normal to me, it's almost like you guys are trying to make normal stuff sound bad, I wonder what your motivation is?
-
I didn’t know what he said until today. Not sure I object to calling a prostitute a diaper nanny.
-
americans want aggressive action for crimes against us
-
He doesn't have slogans or jingos such as "they are eating dogs and cats" as Republicans have. He is temperance incarnate. Deal with it
-
Are you the woman who worked fir Pres Biden but could not get confirmed to a cabinet position
-
I don’t think ‘shooting from the hip’ is a good phrase in this day and age 😳
-
In this time of Fox, We need leaders who can call a spade a spade.
-
He brought a scalpel to a rock and club fight.
-
America: The GOP has created a paramilitary force to execute political opponents in the streets during an illegal war in the Middle East started to cover up the President’s global pedophile ring. Politico: despite appeal, Democrat’s speeches aren’t extemporaneous.
-
This is true and they are using every algorithm and AI means to monitor/monetize the virulent reactions online, it’s politic in the age of Orwell surveillance and the “chose” get in office this way.
-
Ossoff gets it, this is it, this is the Alamo. People can't be cowards and worry about their political future because there may not be one. This is why he scared the shit out of maga, he gets it.
