No, but does a hell of a good job "advocating" for your fitness to hold office.
I have actually seen this before. A chain breaks and the scattering effect motivates others to slip up or take a back seat until the chain is reconnected. It is a bad approach to take and at the very least Riley should have made multiple posts in his thread and kept up with postings thereby removing himself as a "source" of the problem. This is especially the case when you cosnider that he is running for President and thus could illustrate that "hey, I did my damndest to carry it all on my shoulders".
I made the same point about Matt back when he was running for President in 2013. That it was a serious mistake to let a golden opportunity pass by as SoIA just because he did what everyone else had (nothing). Subsequent officeholders proved the SoIA could work (Thank god, it was near to be abolished) and had Matt done the same, well who knows but considering the margin, he might have beat Nix in that election.
