Please tell us why you would hold your nose to vote for her except 'charisma'.

She's too far left for me, for example:

Advocating government interference in business with things like the "Accountable Capitalism Act," which would require 40% employee representation on boards of big corporations

Opposition to trade agreements like TPP

The wealth tax

how is it government interference if employees get representation?

Employees are employees. Government has no business giving them control over the owners.

Would it be a nice thing for a company to so empower its employees? Sure. Is it the government's role to mandate it? Nope.

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is disavowing a Keeping America Great super PAC run by Corey Stewart, arguing the former Senate candidate in Virginia is trying to trick people into thinking they are supporting Trump by giving money to his PAC.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Erin Perrine in an interview with ABC News accused Stuart's group of trying to get people to think "they are directly supporting the President's reelection" by giving to the PAC.

She called the behavior "unconscionable."

...

Trump's campaign and his business organization are very protective of the president's name and his slogans, and the president is known to take umbrage to those who seek to earn money for themselves off his name.
