Sounds to me like you're running. After all, every single presidential candidate in the modern era, before they announced their candidacies, said unequivocally they weren't running for president. If you promise to fix Washington, work across the aisle, never take a controversial position, but instead do only the peoples' business, without being beholden to the extremists on the left or right, free of any personal or party entanglements, focusing on solving problems, not meaningless jibber-jabber or "labels" (aren't those the worst?), you've got my vote. And if you acknowledge me in the foreword, you can use this as the outline for your leadership book.
I'm going to do some googling to see if "The Courage to be Brave" is taken; if not, there's your title.
Anyone else notice that people who have the most background experience and the most insider knowledge are the ones currently ceding ground? A veil is drawn down as the slaughter house looms in the distant fires
The other sign Pompeo was running was the boatload of weight he lost and the new wardrobe to fit his decidedly svelter figure. His tailor was working semi-miracles the final year of his term as Sec of State, but there was a limit to what he could disguise. Pompeo was seriously limited in how convincingly he could project his old West Point “swagger”
