    The idea of "charisma" makes me uncomfortable because it is so intangible & subjective. But it definitely exists. Lots of liberal pols try to mimic Obama and lots of rightists mimic Trump. But no one ever really pulls of the cover act.

        True. We also recall Dan Quayle and Gary Hart in the 1980s, trying to come across as Kennedy-esque.

        Hart was charismatic, despite lacking the internal compass.

        You either have it or you don't. It's why AOC is such a central political player now.

        AOC has it, and its probably one of the most authentic.

        And here I've been worrying about the fact that the idea of "the constitution" is intangible and subjective, but definitely exists. But point taken.

        Trump is unique because he wasn't a politician. This was an essential key to his appeal.

        For a second I thought you were about to slide into this week's Weber discourse.

        It's the "vibrate at the same frequency" thing, from one of those Malcolm Gladwell. Which means it's probably bunk.

        Obama’s genuine enthusiasm, optimism, and passion is hard to replicate in politics due to its sincerity. Trump’s rancor, cynicism, mercurial bitterness, and insatiable resentment is also hard to replicate, as, even in politics, hardly anyone is that empty inside.

        That’s it exactly; every attempt to ape his schtick is so cringe because no on is as hollowed out as he is. If Tom Cotton started tweeting like him tomorrow everyone would just laugh at him.https://twitter.com/blagojevism/status/1325125352771919874 …

        He is not the most evil person in the world, he isn’t even the most evil U.S. president. But he is special because has he has no admirable qualities.
