WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been a Baskin Robbins manager, the top of his class at West Point, an Army officer, a lawyer, an entrepreneur and a Kansas congressman. He’s directed the nation’s spies and sat down with dictators like Kim Jong-Un.
But if he wants to add another accomplishment to his resume — 47th President of the United States — he’ll have to be able to tell a story.
“It’s important for each of these individual candidates to be able to craft a compelling narrative based upon their the life story that American people get excited about,” said David Urban, a Republican strategist who went to West Point with Pompeo. “It’s a wide span of folks you’re going to need to appeal to and how you how that narrative is crafted and how you choose to present yourself is pretty important if you want to try to capture the widest swath possible.”
