I associate his style of speaking as a rich boy who thinks everyone else is his servant. Why? The way he speaks to donors, fellow politicians and businesspeople is vastly different how he speaks to voters. There's a level of confidence in the former, that is "These are my people"-ish. With the latter, it's almost like he's wracking his brain for models on how "the other half" speak, but since he has nothing but disdain for the other half, he stumbles. Pendantic, huh?
