A reader comments on Jesse:
Yes it is. Pure ego.
To be fair, none of these candidates lack ego. They know this is one of the toughest jobs around, and to think they can toss their hats in the ring requires a heady mix of ego and chutzpah.
Watching Jesse talk, though, you get the feel he’s more confident in himself than some of the others are in themselves. Question: would he dare walk into a debate and say, “I don’t know the answer to that question, but I’ll find the best expert I can and put him in charge of it”? Would the electorate accept it?
