Elections, especially presidential elections, are about a lot more than policy positions, more than simply what the candidate thinks about taxes and immigration and climate. When Americans are picking a president they take all sorts of intangibles into count. They factor in how the candidate comes across to them, his personality, how he or she looks. A nice smile helps. A friendly voice can’t hurt. Some candidates have the “magic,” some don’t. Kennedy did, Nixon, not so much.
