Politics is a nasty business. Bill Clinton beat two great men (Bush and Dole) and all because of his charisma alone. It wasn't his resume that got him into the white house. Most voters don't care about that. My own grandmother (may her saintly Christian soul rest in peace) said she liked him because of his smile! I couldn't believe my ears. This was a fiercely conservative church-going woman. Despite all his shenanigans, she still liked him!
The point is, we need someone strong, that has charisma and has the ability to make moderates (and independents) happy. I hate to say it because it shows how shallow our country has become, but there it is. I have decided, for myself, who I think best fits that... even it's still not the perfect solution. I've at least decided which Republican I'm going with in the primary. In any case, we seriously need charm because right now it's everything.
