He's not a charismatic idiot, he's a charismatic genius.
I don't know if 'charismatic genius' is something the American people believe exists right now. 'Overly intellectual' is a title that gets thrown at politicians everywhere. We're more likely to elect the guy we could have a beer with or someone we'd expect to sit next to in church vs. the guy who we'd meet in college.
