    really fair, it’s certainly an uncommon skill but it’s definitely a skill we should be able to expect of our literal leaders

        Obama spoiled us. Hell, even dubyuh was more articulate than either of the geriatrics we have now.

        Fine line. We want “enough” charisma, but we don’t want demogoguery.

        I would have been fine with both of them having proxies for the debate and sitting in, with the proviso that they could chime in if their proxy said something they don’t approve.

          we don’t want demogoguery.

          You sure about that? Could have fooled the rest of the parts of the world where people are legally allowed to even acknowledge demagoguery…

            Buddy, then it’s you and me against the world. I’ll be your campaign manager, you’re the charismatic one.

              Nah, I’m way too idealistically consistent to be a politician lol. Plus my hypoactive ADHD and social anxiety combo doesn’t lend itself well to public office 😄
