Please Democrats, run a candidate with charisma
*
From the beginning I knew
she was not going to win, you can check my Facebook from Spring 2016. It drove me particularly crazy because Hillary
has a quality that I also have, but
decades ago, I accepted this fault as just something I can't change, and
recognized my limitations.
It's Charisma. Neither Hillary or I have it.
You cannot succeed in American
politics without charisma. It may not be
fair, smart, or make any sense at all, but from the time this nation started,
it was the guys who could whistle stop through towns and arouse entire populations
to come see them speak who won elections.
A candidate with charisma could have won, in spite of Russian interference.

I don't have charisma, in
fact I seem to have the opposite. I'm so
pissed off all the time that anger emanates from within me and seems to push people
away. Hey, if you’d lived my life, you’d
be pissed off most of the time too, I think it's a testament to my strength that
I'm even still standing at this point.
And since most the stuff thathappened that made me so pissed off for life began in childhood, the anger has
gone on for a long time and ingrained itself into my very being. In fact, I crack
jokes several times an hour as a survival mechanism, comedic skills just grew inside me, also as a result of this anger. Still the rage simmers and makes me a non
charismatic person.
I accepted that a long
time and stopped running for public office. I'm great as a speech writer but someone else has to deliver the lines.
If only Hillary hadlearned that in 2016, who knows what would have developed.
Now we live and die in
Trumpland.
