I think I'd generally consider candidate quality and campaign quality to be related enough that you're not gonna have a terrible candidate run a good campaign, or vice versa. Admittedly, if I was going to break that generalization, Trump is definitely one politician to do it for. Honestly, given the horrible trend of average American voters voting for the guy they'd like to have a beer with (instead of the competent person with a vision for how to move America forward), I'd say it's quite easy for a terrible candidate to run an amazing campaign. This is the problem I have with politics in general now. We want politicians (people that are good at pandering to voters to get their votes) to then become effective governors (people that actually craft and implement laws), despite the fact that they're elected in no way due to their governing prowess. --- Touch fuzzy.
