So you agree Trump and Vance have charisma.

I could point out that charisma obviously isn't necessarily a good thing. A trawl through the history books my post history can teach us that.

You've met me, you know how how charismatic I am.

Actually, come to think of it, you might not remember.

I thought you quite charismatic. It's too bad we're not close enough to lift a pint from time to time. I really enjoyed meeting you, Quirt, Mary Anna and Beelady.

Yes, it would be nice to meet up again. I used to see Quirt from time to time, but he's moved now, as have I.

I just pinged him on FB this morning to see how they're doing in NYC. He isn't on WTF much if at all.

Megan Kelly wants JD with Marco as his VP.

Vance/Rubio to me seems like the obvious choice, almost a foregone conclusion.

I'm not sure I would say Vance has charisma, but he's much more eloquent and able to defend a position than Trump.

[jon-nyc]

I’m still thinking Uday or Qusay will throw his hat in the ring.

[Horace]

Since 2000, I count two presidential candidates with obviously more charisma than Vance. Obama and Trump.

[jon-nyc]

I think W beats him, though maybe not obviously so. Grok and ChatGPT both agree for whatever that’s worth.

Prompted as follows:

Who has more charisma , Vance or GW Bush (consider Bush as he was 25 years ago)

[jon-nyc]

Maybe McCain too. But I’ll say Vance over Kerry, Romney, Hillary, and Biden.

[89th]

and Gore, too.

[jon-nyc]

Yep.

His one and only flash of likeability came when he read the top 10 list on letterman that someone else wrote for him.
