He understood optics and he understood how much sports, how sports could get you into places and in front of people that being a politician couldn't.
And I'd encourage people, just very quickly, Dan, I'd encourage people, if you ever want to see some great old YouTube footage, go onto YouTube and just type like Ronald Reagan in hockey, Ronald Reagan in basketball.
He's constantly like appearing with teams.
I don't, he was always, he is very much a product of his mother.
George, and again, like Kennedy, grew up in wealth, grew up around politics, right?
The Bush family, Prescott Bush was a Senator from Connecticut.
he played tennis as a kid and his mother who had a huge influence on him huge um was very good at tennis and they would play together and she taught him man it feels this feels like such an arcane term but like kind of the gentlemanly way to compete in sports that you don't you don't rub other people's nose in it if you win if you lose you act gracious as a result he was very
self-deprecating.
He, like Ford, didn't really like to talk that much about his athletic prowess.
It made him a good person, but not a great politician.
Again, good person, bad politician.
Yeah, it's an interesting time because really so Carter would run, you know, running and jogging for fun sort of became a thing in the 70s.
But but but.
Bill Clinton definitely was kind of the, remember he ran as a younger generation, right?
He picked Al Gore as his VP.
Both of these guys were in their 40s and Bush at that point was in his 60s, yeah, late 60s.
And so he was this like young, vibrant guy, but he was Bill Clinton, right?
And I think the running thing is so telling because Bill Clinton, again, no matter what you think of him, Bill Clinton had real highs
as a person and a politician in extremely low lows.
And I think the running to the McDonald's in Little Rock is so indicative of that.
