Charisma wins elections. The most charismatic in my life time was JFK, Reagan, Bill Clinton and Obama. All won twice except JFK and I sure if he hadn't been assassinated, he easily would have won again in 1964.

There was no exit polling or a breakdown for the 1960 presidential election, so I can't include how swing voters/independents voted for JFK or not.

1980 Reagan won independents/swing voters 56-31 with Anderson getting 13%.
1984 Reagan won independents/swing voters 64-36.
1992 Bill Clinton won independents/swing voters 43-28 with Perot getting 30%.
1996 Bill Clinton won independents/swing voters 50-30 with Perot getting 17%
2008 Obama won independents/swing voters 52-44


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
