But they're great candidates, and great candidates allow you to get elected.
And when you're elected, there are benefits to the Secretary of State.
Period.
I mean, in other words, the more powerful your candidate, the more powerful the Secretary of State.
In some ways, many people who have these fundraising jobs, myself included, one of the humilities that we need to commit to is that we really are only as great as the people we represent.
That I, when I was at my peak as a fundraiser, still am representing somebody else's greatness.
And that's really important.
So you have to then say, is it worth it to make the sacrifice and the ego deprivation for this candidate?
And at different stages in your career and at different stages of your life and different stages of your egoic development, you'll make different decisions.
You'll say, look, I want to make a lot of money for me and my family.
So I'm going to find the best candidate who I can monetize.
I want to be in a powerful place.
There are other places to say, look, I really actually want to try to attract resources to this individual because this individual is a candidate who I really believe in.
And I'm okay if we only have a small amount of resources because I'm doing something that I believe in.
And if you can find both, then you hit the jackpot.
It's a little bit like marriage or careers in general.
Why does everybody get married when 50% or more of people don't stay married?
And actually maybe 75% of people shouldn't be.
It's because when it works out, it's one of the most magnificent things that life can possibly give you.
So the payout's great.
