I'm talking about his ability to make things go, and spot trends, not necessarily his ability as a politician.

He is way too controversial and outspoken to be a very good politician. In order to do that, you have to be willing to compromise your principles sometimes for the sake of the perceived "greater good."

He won't do that.
Or perhaps his fervor has been perceived as avarice by some of the voting constituents?
