Yep. That was my first thought, too. This is him choosing his lane and placing his starting blocks.
I just don't see him getting far. A dominionist pretending to be a populist with a charisma befitting the (unelected) diplomat he is?
He's also fat. Americans are fat but don't seem to like overweight politicians. And before anybody mentions DJT, his supporters are brainwashed and think he looks like prime Arnold.
Pompeo kind of has an endearing, jolly fat look like Tony Soprano or Chris Christie though.
I think Pompeo looks like a straight to video movie villain.
Which Tony Soprano though? James Gandolfini was way more svelte at the start of the series and then got bigger as he got more success.
