Why does it seem like there’s a moral impertive suggested by this? What makes the politician charismatic as opposed to a charming salesman? What if the politician was a panachey salesman in a prior time?
That’s what the qualifier “great” is for. A bad politician has panache. Charisma, to me, implies some charm. Panache is what P.T. Barnum used to rope suckers into seeing what an “egress” is.
A great actor or politician has charisma.
A snake oil salesman has panache.

I hate Barnum but I have to give him credit for the egress.
