I agree with him. Politicians are a reflection of the electorate. One can have even more of a positive impact by educating and energizing the electorate than as one lone politician.
> He sounds pretty fired up about this issue, which is one of the main reasons why people get into politics.
Am I the only so jaded to think that's comically naive? At least at the State+ level people (successfully) get into politics for power and money, period.
He has stated explicitly that he sees himself as an educator. I agree with him. Politicians are, after all, people. Educating people is the best way to change how people think.
And that's one of the reasons politics are so messed up.
I wouldn't envy him if he ever decided to enter this shark tank, but I would support him with all my energy. Which isn't much - I don't even live in the US.
But the world could use one or two ethical politicians for a change.
