As a matter of record, Jefferson was not a Democrat of today. He was part of the Democratic Republican part (opposed to the Federalist party) and eventually split off and joined with the side of the people most mirroring today's Republicans (aside from his desire not to have a standing army).
While I agree that saying D's are better speakers than R's is pretty stupid, so is your apparent belief that political parties 200 years ago were even sort of similar to what they are today.
