Trump scores surprisingly well, as does Ben Carson. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Busg, not so much.In my first post on what makes a character likable, I laid out Eric Edson’s criteria from The Story Solution:
- Courage
- Unfair Injury
- Skill
- Funny
- Just Plain Nice
- In Danger
- Loved By Friends And Family
- Hard Working
- Obsessed
To be likable, a character only needs a majority – 5 out of 9 traits.

For both Jeb! and Shrillary, I prefer the term "nacho much"...
