This is kind of weird, as the biggest part of the job is having a plan that makes the country better and then executing on that plan.

Charisma is great to have on top of all this, but it shouldn't be the first order of making a decision.
This is a huge part of it.

Many politicos will talk about how the best politicians have this aura that sort of draws you in when they walk into a room. You know those people that, as soon as they step into a room, the room seems to sort of glance over or the energy moves towards that person. They think that is the best politician - for elections.

Fundraising, debates, soundbites, ads. These people attract attention and dollars.

Honestly, look at someone like Trudeau. That guy had/has it, which helped him early on.

Ive heard similar things of PP, as opposed to guys like Sheer etc.
