No one wants to run for office where they may need to cannibalize themselves.
So one of the reasons why people run for president, although we say we don't have a king or a queen in this country, is because you imagine you're going to be shielded from certain challenging decisions you may have to make.
And those typically are around foreign policy decisions.
So in terms of getting someone to want to run for 28, to stand on a justice agenda, to stand on accountability, not to pardon Trump, not to make the mistake of Nixon, we need to have a candidate that will be okay with presidents not being fully protected.
And that is going to be a hard sell.
Additionally, like with law enforcement, one of the reasons why people become cops is because, you know, the culture says we will protect you.
You you you you are safe here.
You know, you may have to make hard calls and hard choices, but we have your back.
It's the same thing with being president of the United States.
The law has your back, essentially, right?
So we need a candidate out there, what Rich said, standing on justice, standing on accountability, but also we need a candidate out there that isn't interested in doing things
As they were, that world is great.
So when you're looking at a Gavin Newsom, who is very status quo, I don't know.
He talks a good game depending on who he's speaking to.
But people are looking for authenticity because they don't pull up those receipts.
People are looking for a fighter, not just for their own ends, but for all of us.
