I hate calling whatever the fuck trump has "charisma." If I knew nothing about him and met him at a bar I would still want to punch him in his smug face. He's an asshole and so clearly an absolute idiot... And yet Maga eats it all up.
So I agree, so much damage has been done, but I don't see Vance or anyone else commanding the same unwavering authority. I hope we're not wrong.
