Very idealistic types have not fared very well, and therefore some of the aspects which those types tend to have in their chart have neutral or negative scoring. What if some candidates like Beto can actually shift the preferences of Americans, and this is a long-term sea change? Then the scoring for those aspects might shift too. That would take generations, and meanwhile the scores might often be wrong.
I wouldn't bet on this happening, even if Beto wins over Cruz. If he runs for president, I would expect him to lose. But, I could be wrong!

Actually, the shift should be a result of the 4T. Then, and only then, can tradition be cast aside because tradition is the problem. We don't have a wide path to a successful 4T, because the forces arrayed against it are still very strong, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. FDR lead the country after decades of GOP business conservatives and rightwing Democrats like Woodrow Wilson ran the country for the plutocrats, yet he succeeded anyway.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
