Stalin had always supported the Bolsheviks, while Trotsky only switched from the Menshevik party to the Bolshevik party after it was apparent that the Bolsheviks would win. Trotsky was a thinker with brilliant speeches, Stalin used force for votes. Trotsky led the army, while Stalin was the secretary. Stalin had great political appeal, but Trotsky had great militaristic and organisational appeal. Furthermore, Stalin was mentally and physically strong, but after Lenin's death, Trotsky began breaking down.
