The average American is more focused on leadership than likeability. And more focused on qualifications than quality of speakership.

The average American doesn't realize how much of the laws are written by lobbyists.

I'm not a chef. I haven't created any new technique in the kitchen. I'm not a rocket scientist. I think I'm good at writing accessible, fun, and affordable meals for the average American family. That's what I think I'm good at.
