I think the good doctor is a perceptive man. We live in absurd times. Presidential politics as we know it today is a whole other level of absurdity. If whatever enthusiasm you might have for the job, whatever willingness and desire you might have to serve your country in that position, isn’t mixed with at least some trepidation about that, you are not sane enough to be allowed in it.
Well the chief dangers seem to be
(1) You will age quickly
(2) You might get shot
That’s about it. People of good will (in the Lord) ought to consider such a sacrifice.
