MOTM Podcast: Why I Never Got Married

It is a more reflective register than the campaign clips. The through-line is cost — that the years spent accumulating degrees and building a practice were years spent on something else instead, and that this trade was a real one rather than a story told afterward to make it sound inevitable.

Voters rarely get this version of a candidate. It is worth watching precisely because there is no policy ask attached to it.
