    Not seeing this as charismatic is a lack of imagination. He didn’t win elections by being senile or whatever. I wish i could command a room like this. This kind of media attention is exactly why he won the first time.

      You’ve gotta be a dumbass to find dumb talk charismatic. He’s just lucky the gop base has lead poisoning and no education

        That was exactly what I thought too. It sounded as though the crowd loved his rhetoric, giving me the impression they either accept it as truth, or at least makes them feel that their displeasure with progress is validated…

        Disheartening. It’s the only word that fits. Fucking disheartening.
