Remember, when you hear about how important it is that the next Republican nominee for President have “gravitas,” the following have been designed by people with gravitas:
- The TSA’s scanning and groping system.
- Obamacare.
- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the mortgage bubble.
- Our tax code.
- Our federal and state budget deficits.
- Our immigration system.
- (feel free to add more in the comments)
We need gravitas, because gravitas has worked so well so far.

Mashed potatoes: they need gravitas. Also, butter.
Agreed, but it does not follow that a lack of gravitas is desirable in a Presidential candidate.

'Pragmatic' is no more than the word 'practical' with (you guessed it!) gravitas.
What is practical depends upon what one seeks to practice.-Ayn Rand
"…effectively lead the nation?"
If you believe that such a creature exists then perhaps you should excuse yourself from the talent pool.
The Gordian knot created by all the "gravitas" needs the Alexanderian solution.
