powers of persuasion most of all enhanced by a knowledge
Rhetoric not solely as skill in speaking, but also as being knowledgeable about a subject/having something real to say.
-
The political speaker will also appeal to the interest of his hearers, and this involves a knowledge of what is good. Definition and analysis of things "good."
Sounds like a politician, always telling people what they want to hear.
-
In urging his hearers to take or to avoid a course of action, the political orator must show that he has an eye to their happiness.
Their is no distinction between acting concerned and genuine concern for "their" happiness.

Neither will he be the friend of any one who is greatly his inferior, for the tyrant will despise him, and will never seriously regard him as a friend.
I don't know how politics was viewed during Socratimes, but I think this isn't relevant today. Lying and fake-friendships run rampant in the states.

I answer, Socrates, that rhetoric is the art of persuasion in courts of law and other assemblies, as I was just now saying, and about the just and unjust.
here rhetoric is dependent on audience? Rhetoric primarily meant for politics?
