I certainly agree that your comment reflects the traditional thinking on when to announce a candidacy. My point, I suppose, is that given the urgency of Trump/Musk's assault on our government, this is not the time for traditional tactics... and we don't have time to wait. Someone has to stand up and be the voice of the opposition now.
