“When you look at his political Youtubes, you get a sense he's such a sophomore.”

So you're saying ‘he's not even in the same class;
without saying specifically. Whatever the ‘game’ might
be, he is given credit for stepping up and out. Just as
Dr. Carson felt a need to do so. Both, small fish in a
big pond swimming alongside barracudas and sharks, all
attempt to avoid the hook.

OK, I'll admit my criticism was too harsh.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause;

Who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

—Theodore Roosevelt, Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, 1910
