Doesn’t elite mean good? Is that not something we’re looking for in a president anymore? You know what candidates? I know elite is a bad word in politics. You want to go bowling and throw back a few beers; but the job you’re applying for—if you get it and it goes well—they might carve your head into a mountain. If you don’t actually think you’re better than us, then what the fuck are you doing? […] In fact, not only do I want an elite president, I want someone who is embarrassingly superior to me, somebody who speaks 16 languages and sleeps two hours a night hanging upside down in a chamber they themselves designed.
