The two halves are the same argument. The training clips and the doorwalking clips both document work that is repetitive, unglamorous, and only meaningful in accumulation. Neither produces a result you can point to on any given day.

That is the case this campaign makes about character: not that fitness qualifies anyone for office, but that the habit of doing hard things without an audience tends to predict whether someone reads the bill.
