Stephen A. Smith

He had to spend money on the illegal immigration issue, it being a sanctuary city. So all of those things come into play. But the point that I'm trying to make is this. If you're around, if you're looking at somebody and you're saying to yourself, what is it going to take? How can we find that candidate?

The first order of business is finding a candidate that recognizes the importance of appealing to not only his own constituency, but those who are undecided. and playing to win. If you're a centrist, what you're saying is, I'm willing to compromise. I'm willing to walk across the aisle and work with people. I'm not interested in all of this chaos. If it has to get chaotic, so be it.

But that's not the objective. That's not the goal. We're Americans. We can come together. We can work together. Don't look at black, white, Latino, Asian, whatever the case may be. Don't look at all of that stuff and think that that's a license. to dismiss and alienate others just because they don't look nor feel like you do. You might have a shot at convincing them if you talk to them.

You could go to them and talk to them about what their desires are, what they wish for their communities, what's the kind of thing that plagues their community and how we can alleviate those concerns. That's your responsibility. And see, to me, I'm sitting there, again, I have no desire to be in politics, zero. My life is pretty good. My life is pretty damn good. But guess what?

I'm looking at it and I'm saying, this isn't hard. This isn't hard. I'm talking about compared to the Democratic candidates that you have available. It's not hard. Look at their roster.

Listen, I was very impressed with Josh Shapiro. Very impressed with him. And I love me some Wes Moore. No doubt about it, right? And if there's anybody – but I would be concerned – I think that one could easily argue Trump would never have been president if Barack Obama hadn't been president. Barack Obama's presidency caused a white backlash.

OK, because you had people in this country that didn't like his policies, didn't like him, was walking around crying about how he's trying to indoctrinate our children just because he was speaking to elementary school kids and stuff. This ridiculous stuff that people came up with. Right. Which is far beyond the pill. No excuse for.

OK, but people were really feeling like their way of life was being compromised because, again, they didn't know everything that he was doing. They were going by what they were being told by the other side. And then here comes Trump saying, we're going to purge this whole system. We're going to throw this all aside because these folks ain't strong enough, ain't good enough.

Remember, Jeb Bush, low energy. Marco Rubio, small hands and all of this other stuff. Little Marco and stuff like that. You know, Carla Fiorini and, you know, she's this or that or Doug or Chris Christie and getting on him. We saw Kasich. I thought I was a huge fan of Kasich. But guess what? He wasn't resonating with the constituency out there. So they their side chose who their side chose.

You don't get an opportunity to do that as Democrats because they pick who they want exposed instead of saying. Let's put everybody out there and see who the constituency gravitates towards. That's the problem. And that's the real reason why somebody like little old me is polling, which makes no damn sense whatsoever. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing.
