1988, Michael Dukakis, Zero Charisma, Lost
1992, Bill Clinton, Charismatic, Won
1996, Bill Clinton, Chaismatic, Won
2000, Al Gore, Zero Charisma, Lost
2004, John Kerry, Zero Charisma, Lost
2008, Barack Obama, Charismatic, Won
2012, Barack Obama, Charismatic, Won
2016, Hillary Clinton, Zero Charisma, Lost

Very different era with just three national TV stations and no YouTube. Newspapers ruled the day then.
