Is Donald Trump as charismatic as Frank Underwood?


If Frank was real, do you think DT would be more charismatic?

Trump is a better speaker. Frank is more verbose, but Trump's ability to sum up complex issues into tiny, repeatable soundbites makes him a hugely effective orator.
"Make America Great Again", "Lyin' Ted", "Crooked Hilary", "Lock Her Up". These are all sharp, snappy, to-the-point and instantly cemented him in the mind of the electorate. Frank, on the other hand, speaks like a politician - so couldn't connect with the voters on the same level as a man like Trump.
