Bernie has been said to be carrying that banner of FDR, he is a great speaker because he believes in what he says and that sincerity comes across, as it did this week when he was speaking to the media, especially to Chuck Todd, who tried to get him to talk about Hillary.
As President I have a feeling he will have LBJ's ability to push his agenda through.
As for Clinton's charisma, for me again, that was because I believed he meant what he said, and on some things, he did, but then I was pretty naive at that time. His Welfare Reform hurt so many people, and his deregulation of Wall St, contributed to more hurt for so many people, not to mention deregulating the media.
So now I look at their records if they have one, and if they appear to be altering their views in order to get elected, it doesn't matter how attractive or how much charisma they have, to me they are just another politician.
