      Honestly it’s charisma more than anything. JFK, Johnson Clinton, gore doesn’t have it, Kerry doesn’t have it, Obama has it, Hillary doesn’t have it, Biden doesn’t really but post trump litterally a walking corpse worked. Kamala doesn’t have it, and people have goldfish memories.

        Ok, but let’s not pretend gore didn’t win. It was just close enough in the final state that the supreme court gave it to Bush rather than keep recounting

        This seems a little begging the question.

        Even if it wasn’t, it’s a little damning to liberals who now seem to only like a candidate if they think they are “charismatic”, which seems suspiciously ill-defined.
