Political Acumen
Anyone who watched the first debate and did not know during the debate, with no media prompting, that it was a disaster that would have profound effects on the race lacks the political acumen to make valid observations about such things.
Having political acumen does not make one a good person.
It involves an ability to see through the eyes of a lot of people with dysfunctional perspectives. It is like being a profiler of serial killers... being able to really identify with messed up perspectives.
But it is a skill.
