You don't get to lead thousands of people by making publicly offensive statements, even accidentally. So yes, that does lead to more boring answers to newspapers.

Politicians don't swear in public, but they sure do in private. I'm sure a smaller conversation with Jeff would be fascinating.

That's not correct. There are (current) examples of people leading thousands (or more) people by making publicly offensive statements.

It's just the statements are polarising (on purpose), to create feelings of inclusion among the supporters + and blame [social problems?] on the people being pointed at.
