      What happened in 2016 was the same thing that happened in every presidential election since 1968: the more charismatic candidate won. http:/paulgraham.com/charisma.html

          Hat tip on the reply to this. You didn't have to and you did it with grace and style and...charisma.

          Trump is more anti-charismatic than charismatic, but that still beats non-charismatic

          Is this a good use of that confusing "the exception that proves the rule" idiom?

          Literally couldn't take any more of the "charisma". I now look forward to weeks, maybe months, of not worrying about what the POTUS is up to...

          I do not think Trump has genuine charisma, and I find the proposition dubious. Nevertheless, do not overlook the size of the charisma gap between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence.

          Context. (These days 'boring' might be perceived as 'charismatic' (in context).)
