The trouble with a talk show host, is that they have countless hours of conversation recorded for posterity every single day for years on end.
The opposition can easily find snippets in or out of context, which make the candidate look mad during an election campaign.
Do you think we are any different? If you decide to run for the NDP again, do you think no one will dredge up all of the things you have said on here? About wishing people's mothers to die alone in a dirty diaper for example? It may be completely out of context, as you are suggesting, but that won't come through in the attack ads.
In the era of social media, I'm not sure how we find any political candidates who are squeaky clean, do you have any suggestions?
Somehow we need to find candidates who have lived under a rock their entire lives. But then they will have zero experience managing anything, although that didn't stop our current prime minister.
