It happens a lot, but I've really tried to think about where...
like where I erred in this.
And there are a couple of places and I'll and so I'll say what those were.
The first is if I have a bias or you can even say a blind spot in politics, it's for
outsider candidates who did not grow up their entire life wanting to be in office.
That's why I like Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton.
That's why I really loved Beto O'Rourke when he was running for Senate and was intrigued by his potential as presidential candidate.
It's why I supported Mallory McMorrow in the Michigan Senate race this cycle.
That's what gets me most interested are candidates like that.
They have the potential to be the best candidates and they can make the best leaders because they've lived a normal life.
They're more human.
They talk more like a human and they're less risk averse.
The people who spent their whole lives deciding what mistakes not to make to avoid cutting off their path to higher office generally are not the best leaders.
Yes.
And I think that makes you a better candidate.
It absolutely does.
Now, that will blow up in your face a bunch because those candidates are by definition
higher risk.
They have higher ceilings and lower floors.
And so that's why I was intrigued by Plattner.
