In this age of TV and appearance, and after some people say that President Obama's "charismatic" presidency, it's time for Zzzzz. Do you believe so or is that a myth? Do you think it's time for a terribly uninspiring leader?

Obama lost his charisma sometime in 2010 (some would argue 2009), so we've been living with that for the last four years at least.

John Thune, perhaps? Just kidding, he's not going to run no matter how badly some people want him to...
Clinton has no charisma, and people seem to think she's unbeatable, so it's possible. Same goes for Bush, Walker, Sanders, Cruz, Paul, and some of the others. 2016 will probably have a good mix of charismatic and qualified candidates. I give the edge to the experience over charisma.
Clinton has some charisma, I guess more than Cruz.

Responding directly to the poll question: I think it's time to elect someone who'll do the best job. Whether or not they are charismatic should not matter, so Write In: Doesn't matter.

It's not a bad thread, it's opinion. Everyone's not perfect.

Boring Midwesterners make no waves. They don't cause havoc. Sometimes, that's a good thing.

Your obsession with candidates that are boring/uncharismatic is quite odd. I don't really understand why you are so drawn to candidates that "don't make waves." It is one thing if its a boring but very experienced/qualified candidate, but the way you frame it makes it sound like the experience is secondary to the boring factor.

??

As much as I dislike the man, Cruz is a fantastic speaker and debater. I remember watching him at the 2012 convention and coming away very impressed (I didn't know who he was at that point). He was the top debater in the country in his youth and as a job convinced others with his oratory. Hilary in comparison is boring and stiff, and lacks the fire of a Cruz.

Except Hillary. She is God among these people.
