1. But didn't he say he wasn't a career politician?

I could have sworn that he campaigned on the fact that he wasn't a career politician.

2. Don't you have to actually get elected to something?

And receive a paycheck before you can be a "career politician".

Let's hope his honesty is still intact after November.
