  • Sorry to pick on your comment, but I have a question about a statement everyone seems to assert…

    Is he charismatic? No.

    (As a disclaimer I’m out of touch with people’s impressions on this)

    I don’t understand this statement from everyone. Charismatic compared to what? He’s way more charismatic than most humans - he’s a career politician who manages thousands of relationships. He snaps off solid one-liners to shut down trolls. He leaned into the Dark Brandon thing. If he spent effort seeming even more charismatic, I’d be more concerned about his fitness for the job.

    Put another way, I see him as having the right balance of charisma for voters aged 35+.

    What are people wishing we had instead of that, in a presidential candidate?
