    intelligent, articulate, charismatic and compassionate people in the public sphere

    Great but it takes a lot more than that to be a GOOD president.

    You need to be more than just popular. I know it’s a common mistake to think celebrities will make good presidents because they have charisma.

    That is how we ended up with Trump.

    Have higher standards.

      That’s why I didn’t even mention “popular”, and listed a bunch of other traits besides charisma.

      Comparing Stewart with Trump is lazy and simplistic, do better.
