What makes a great politician?

[My Name Is Kate]

A very healthy ego is required to believe one can take on the job of leading an entire nation, especially in times of great turmoil and when that leadership has far-reaching ramifications for the rest of the world. Humility is an important and admirable quality in any leader, but sometimes it is masked, and probably needs to be when the adversaries are the likes of Hitler, Stalin and ISIS, or deep-state embeds galore. Politicians can be great actors too (not intended as a jab at Reagan or anyone else), and that may be an important requirement of the job, at times. But false humility as a persistent personality trait is worse than outright arrogance, imo.
