I think it would be difficult to find anyone who was at once brilliant and modest and honest and humble! So why not settle for one or the other rather than being greedy and wanting it all? I think it is possible though unlikely.
I disagree with thee absolutely irrevocably emphatically totally. I personally KNOW folks who are geniuses who are all that I described. They do exist. The thing is being prez requires a very healthy ego...way beyond what is modest or humble. As for being greedy I am not greedy at all. I cannot ignore what I know to be true so I am sticking to my question without changing one word of it No need to change what I know to be true. Brilliant, modest, honest and humble. There are such people. I know them personally. I hope one day you get to meet one or two and then you will better understand my question. Thank you for your reply.

A brilliant, driven, extroverted, aggressive, charismatic,motivated organizer and administrator can be elected to any office. Anyone that cannot rise above honest, modest and humble, is wasting time in politics regardless of what the spin doctors try to foist on the electorate.
