Why would anyone run for president?
Everyone believes you need a big name, deep pockets, and partisan clout to even try--and with good reason. But does it have to be that way, and could a no-name scientist from Florida have a shot at the Oval Office? This is the story of finding that answer. It's part memoir, part critique, and part tell-all on some of the unwritten rules of American politics. Told by a psychologist and former civil servant, this book sheds light on the often-shadowed ecosystem of national politics, interwoven with JJ Walcutt's own experience campaigning across the fifty states. It's a book for anyone irritated with the current climate, for those wanting a glimpse at the inner-workings of our political apparatus, and for those looking for hope for our nation. It's a book about the American experience--in all its raw, irreverent, loving, surprising, and inspirational glory.
