I don't know if charisma really matters anymore. Sure, GEOTUS has it in bucket loads, but look where charisma has gotten us. I think the country would be just fine with a hard-nosed guy who could get the job done that needs to be done. I always think, "slick asshole" when I hear "charismatic politician", and old ladies always bitch about Trump's mean words and how they think he's "not Presidential". I think that's exactly what we need (and those old ladies should just shut the hell up, grow a pair and realize where that attitude has gotten us.... seriously) to keep us from going through this torture again.
I do wonder how people's attitudes will change about politicians after The Storm is mostly over...
A couple of points: Charisma is extremely important when it comes to leading a country. Not just being elected, but holding any form of leadership over a military and representation of your country on the global stage.
Additionally, "charismatic politicians" aren't ass holes.
Politicians are ass holes. It doesn't matter whether they're charismatic.
