    He is very inauthentic, and his political views are heavily influenced by popularity. He’s definitely a political animal. That can be good in some ways, but but in this era, where the opposition has moved so far to the right, governing from the center moves the Overton Window to the right. He’ll probably win the democratic nomination, but I’d rather see someone with more authenticity that stands for something, rather than someone who moves so much with the political winds.

      I don’t necessarily agree that he would govern from the “center”. But he also doesn’t give his political opinions on issues very much in the podcast. So I’m honestly not sure what he stands for.

      I will be interested in seeing his comments about specific issues during his future campaign.
