Why can't guys like this get more traction early on? Is is just a money issue? Do they suffer for speaking in intelligent terms versus making big promises?

Both these men are better public speakers than anyone in the last 2 election cycles except for Hillary herself who is as good as it gets.
It's money as well as name recognition. You don't get the money if no one knows or cares who you are, or if there are multiple people seen as "more viable" than you are.

Viable is a word that's annoying me these days.

And come on now, Barack is a waaaaay better public speaker than Hillary, even if you feel he lacks substance, he's got the charisma and the inspiration.
