I think PG is onto something, but mislabeled it. Brands win elections and Charisma is a great way to build a stronger presence in peoples minds.
Trump is winning because he owns a place in every single voters mind, he is familiar and therefore relevant.
All consumers and voters make emotional decisions and than support them with logic afterwards. Politics is no different, people emotionally (subconsciously) decide who they like the most and than find the logical positions to convince themselves.
This is human nature, logic follows will.
Trump is winning because he has a more memorable brand than any other candidate. Clinton is winning because she also has a very memorable brand.
My gut tells me that Clintons brand beats trump in a political context, but I am not sure.
- moridinamael 10y agoI mean, that's going to vary person-to-person. When I query my emotional sense of Clinton, I get back stuff like: liar, unhealthy, bloodthirsty, fake, robotic. Admittedly, probably 100% of these words have been "Incepted" into me, but that doesn't stop them from being there. In contrast, my Trump emotional reactions go more like: winner, famous, gold, smiling, dominant. Again, I'm not proud of it, but that's the kind of pre-rational slant I have to essentially fight against when trying to evaluate the candidates logically.
