Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson was a cold but calculating man who despite all odds, won the presidency thanks to his wife gaining him endorsements and his capitalization on his competitors missteps. A large criticism towards Wilson was that he wasn't as charismatic or lively as Theodore Roosevelt, who was running against him for the presidency. However, despite knowing he was an awkward man, he acknowledged and embraced his flaw, allowing him to be a pleasantly human contrast to the seemingly perfect Teddy Roosevelt.
