If you've seen http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312848/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312848/ it's very obvious the guy is no idiot. What's mildly sinister about it is how things change between him and the press as it seems he stands a chance of actually winning. Another character of this type is Donald Rumsfeld, who appears making disturbingly well reasoned positions in Milton Friedman documentaries in the 80s. It's very hard to maintain the positive view when you consider what actually happened with them in power though, but in fairness I struggle to think of a modern political leader that isn't true for of any persuasion.
