(79,089 posts)You know, I'm an old, long-retired boxer. And I think that the experiences from that phase of my life would suit me quite well for this contest.
A while back, my younger son -- now an amateur boxer -- visited me. He wanted to tell me that he had been thinking .... that I wasn't the fastest, the strongest, or the hardest puncher. Yet my record speaks for itself; more, he had seen how the top promoters etc reacted when they saw me at a fight card, decades after I hung up the gloves. So, my boy said, it had to be that I was so good, because I was the smartest in the ring.
I told him that was half of it. The other half was that I trained very hard. I was prepared for anything and everything. And I was capable of going farther than anyone else. Both mentally and physically, I was prepared to go to that next level.
And that is exactly what I am prepared to do in this year's election.
