About This Quote
In the year 2025, the best men don't run for president, they run for their lives. . . ." is a quote from an American politician, United States Senator Barry Goldwater.
In the year 2025, people will not be running for president because they will not want to run for their lives. It is a common misconception that the best men do not run for president because they do not want to go through what all of the presidents before them have endured. Of course, that does not mean that the best men do not want to be president.
On the contrary, most of them would not only like to run but would love to win and serve their country. Instead, in the year 2025, people will be running for their lives because of a new weapon that has been invented. Some might say that this problem could be solved if we elected better people to office; however, this is where Senator Goldwater was speaking about an entirely different problem.
