I just thought of the same thing.
That's funny, the face you made.
And so I think the idea being that, like, and I think generally what happens a lot of times, especially presidential politics, is sort of the most charismatic person wins.
Now, charismatic for their audience, but, you know,
Whatever Kamala Harris was, she was not known to rule the room with charisma.
That doesn't mean she's not smart.
Doesn't mean she's not blah, blah.
Certainly going to be a better president.
But I think that one of the things that Barack Obama had in spades, which is a funny thing to say about the black guy, is that he was hyper charismatic.
So that Mitt Romney never stood it.
It didn't matter if Mitt Romney was.
Mitt Romney was a vacuum of charisma.
He was a sock who got over-starched.
No, he was never going to win.
And you see it in elections.
There was 19 people running for mayor of New York, and Eric Adams won because he just had a personality.
You know what I mean?
He's just a cool cat.
