It's not the be all and end all.
Yeah.
People often ask me, do I miss it?
And my answer is always no.
I loved it when I did it.
And I really loved being in the Senate, but I've been out of it for 31 years and it's changed so much and they really aren't legislating now.
They're just getting on TV and social media and all that.

I mean, it would be fun to run and to run as a unifier
It would be fun to do it, and I'd probably lose.
But still, you know, I long for voices out there, much younger than I am, of course.
I long for voices that just say, look, we've got a great country.
We've got wonderful people in this country.
Let's for once try to appeal to the best of them.
Let's try to evoke the best in the American people, not the worst, because the tactic now in American politics is to appeal to the worst in people, us against them, grievance, anger, rage.
That's the business model of politics and the media today.
Wow, we need some people who are just going to make the effort to say, nope.
It's a great country with great people, and let's get along with each other.
What interests you?
Yeah.
