There are two kinds of empaths: truly genuine and manufactured phoney. Both kinds have spectacularly won elections. But those who aren't the real deal, don't and won't win re-election.
What all parties need is another secret weapon -- who used to go by the name Bill Clinton. Clinton sweat empathy -- something that Hillary could never master -- and that hurt her candidacy.
Big political problems arise when the phoney kind gets unmasked by the voting public. Once disillusioned, the public holds firm and throws you out of office. If you're only aspiring, reality becomes brutal fast -- think Hart, Edwards, etc.
So, going into 2019 and 2020, big problems for incumbents lie ahead: Trudeau, who has gone out of his way to self-destruct and Trump, who pushes an immigration narrative designed to deliberately divide and set one group against another.
That's a huge opening for the right kind of Democrat and less so, for an already entrenched Scheer. People want to vote their comfort zone. Can they really do that now?
