Question: Which of our candidates projects "Invincible Optimism?

[KoKo]

I'm taking out a couple of sentences from an article by Marc Shields, for discussion purposes. I'm linking the article just for reference but the article and who it's about isn't my point.

My Question is: Which candidate seems closer in "Optimism" to Reagan and Clinton. Both came in when there were bad feelings and opposing groups who were angry with the direction America was going. This time seems to be more serious because of Bush and the BFEE/PNAC.......so maybe seriousness is even more important. But Shields has a good point.......so which candidate right now might fit that "Invincible Optimism" projection?

ON EDIT: I looking for honest discussion not arguing with each other over candidates qualities. Or candidate bashing. Just why one thinks their particular favorite may or may not have those qualities. Shields point is a good one.....not the only one, but one to think about.

Here's the quote:

It is worth remembering that in the last half century
only two American politicians have served two terms in the White House.

Both were invincible optimists -- Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
