I'm sure you have a lovely cat and I'd be inclined to agree with you, as I'm not a fan of Clinton or Harris and find cats typically quite charismatic.

But saying Trump was more charismatic than Harris, your cat, or the shit I took this morning is certainly a divisive opinion at least.

I've encountered farts which cleared a room and were still more "charismatic" than Trump according to 9 out of 10 people exposed to both.

Harris has zero charisma. She cannot talk without creepy laugh or jokes that nobody laughs at, she can't work with crowds.

She was in primaries some time ago and gain less than 10% votes.

Ahh, I didn’t explicitly say that he is more charismatic than Harris.

I said, if the Democrats have chosen someone more charismatic than Harris, they would have won.

You said "Hillary and Harris have less charisma than my cat. They are simply unelectable"

Well.. Trump was elected. If you're not saying Trump is more charismatic then this all seems to contradict your point that charisma is necessary for electibility.

Just arguing for logic's shake now.

You are making a logical jump there. Hillary and Harris are Democrats. Trump is Republican. Based on logic, just because Trump won doesn't automatically make him more charismatic, as there are other factors that play role.

So logically you cannot assert that this is true; Trump winning <==> Trump more charismatic

The problem is that the rules are different. For Democrats, if they want to win, they need someone with charisma. See Biden, Obama, and Bill Clinton, versus Hillary Clinton and Dukakis for historical examples.

Republicans don't need charisma: if the Democratic candidate isn't charismatic enough, they'll instead vote for whatever pile of shit the GOP puts on the ticket.

The problem is the voters.
