I didn't want to run this cycle I spent 2 years trying to call attention to something that I was seeing clearly with my own eyes I remember my Republican buddies excoriating Donald Trump quietly behind closed doors and then praising him in front of cameras I saw then my Democratic colleagues do the same thing about a Joe Biden who we knew was in Decline and was probably going to lose I called on others to do this beginning in July of 22 calling on public you know officials to enter the race called Governors directly I didn't want to do it but it became evident that our political culture punishes courage rewards cowardice and silence someone had to do it in two weeks I put together a campaign to run for president but the message was to try to be a Paul R not a George Washington it took someone to hand overp power like Joe Biden did to really make it happen I'm glad he did and the rest may be history
