As is my usual custom, I was spending my Monday evening contemplating the greatness of The Johns Hopkins University while drinking some Martell Cordon Bleu when I came upon this question:
Does any potential presidential candidate in America have a better resume than Wes Moore?
After all, the guy lost his father at the age of 3 (hello soft-heart voters);
spent time growing up in the Bronx (hello New York primary);
is African American (hello, South Carolina primary);
is part Cuban (hello, Florida);
Graduated HS and junior college at the Valley Forge Military Academy (hello, Pennsylvania);
served in the 82nd Airborne as a captain and saw combat duty in Afghanistan (hello, veterans vote);
was an early member and board member of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (hello, patriots vote and shield against gun nuts);
graduated from Johns Hopkins and the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar (hello suburban educated voters);
worked as an investment banker in Manhattan (real business experience);
led a non-profit organization (hello liberals);
has a lovely fashion-trendy wife and two good-looking kids (hello Obama fans); and
is now the Governor of Maryland (hello voters who want real political experience).
Plus, he’s a pretty good speaker (but a bit too polished if you ask me … he needs to work on keeping his stump speeches “real”).
Pretty much checks all the boxes. Just needs to keep away from scandal and stay faithful to his wife.
It’s hard not to see him being elected president some day.
Ok, back to the Cordon Bleu ….
