I don't know why you think Singh is lacking in personal charisma. Whenever I have seen him I thought he had oodles of it and commentators seem to agree. Do you also think Trudeau is lacking in personal charisma?
The only thing that works is trying to win the argument...nothing else wins people over, nothing else holds the people you already have.
I agree with the above but the timing has to be right and the public has to be receptive.
The extents of Singh's limitations have been listed in extensive detail by myself and at least a couple other people around here. I'm sure you've seen them, ignored them, and are just trolling us all with your "oodles of charisma" praise. I think you're just punking us all and privately laughing as the NDP races toward oblivion. There's something very Trump-ian about you, Pondering.
Your arguments are bizarre. No logic involved. Just declarations and personal attacks. You have decided he isn't charismatic so it must be true, evidence be damned.
Same goes for his so-called limitations. Just because you declare it to be so doesn't mean it is. Even if he has a particular limitation, such as Trudeau's speech habit, doesn't mean it can't be compensated for or changed.
You seem to want an insta-savior for a leader that will single-handedly raise the NDP from the ashes.
The criticisms of Singh echo those of Trudeau. I am very surprised. All the time I favored Trudeau over Mulcair I though a lot of the criticism of Trudeau was partisan. A refusal to see in them the strengths I saw even as an opponent. Mulcair looked much more prime ministerial. spoke better was a better debater, better educated, more accomplished. He has some charisma too. I could acknowledge those things.
Now I am seeing Singh getting the Trudeau treatment by some posters. I'm not saying Singh can pull off what Trudeau did in terms of getting money and votes but he will surprise you.
