Tad on NPR
Yesterday afternoon, Tad joined Ken Walsh and Nicole Wallace on “On Point” with Mike Pesca to discuss the keys to Presidential success on the campaign trail.
On the subject of the difficulty of the presidential primary season, Tad said “it’s a test on whether or not someone can cross the highest threshold in our politics, which is the threshold of presidential credibility. This is an enormous office and the responsibility that goes with it is great. And to subject yourself to the scrutiny of the public, of the press, and now in a new age, the immediate scrutiny of the internet, the Twitter followers who are with you and the people with their phones who can videotape every word that you utter and post it online in moments. I think the depth of scrutiny really forces presidential candidates to pass a high threshold.”
