292. Partially because his family was a huge part of his attraction
He did not have a long consistent record of major accomplishments to point to. He was not a great communicator - he was mediocre on Sunday talk shows and not a standout in debates. It all came down to personality and charisma and finding causes to link onto.

He only won one primary in two election - the likelihood that he would be considered again was nil.

I feel sorry for the people who took him at his word.
