To be mayor of a city this large, even though it's a weak mayor, that actually means you have to work even harder to communicate in a weak mayor system.

And, you know, I don't that doesn't surprise me because in Congress as a member of Congress, which he was for so long, you can just kind of hang out in Congress and take your votes.

But like we need leaders.

Yeah.

We need people to like stand up and and point somewhere and say, this is where we're going and this is how we get there and get behind me.

We're going to get excited.

And it's like, where is that?

Yes.

And it, and it bumps me out to say it because first of all, it is really hard to run for office and it's a lot of sacrifice.

And especially in this environment, it's like, why does anyone want to go through that?

Right.

And there are so many people who are going through it right now who are wonderful candidates who people will maybe never hear about because they're just putting their head down and trying to win their races.

And they're not as flashy as some of the other candidates we talk about and like, God bless them.

But when we get to president,

this is going to be the challenge.

Because you can do that in a congressional race.

You can do that probably even in a Senate race as you get to governor in this state or as you get to a mayor or now, especially when you get to president, it's going to be a lot tougher to do that.

Yeah.

Just sort of fake it.

Yeah.
