If "I have concepts of a plan" is good enough for running for president, it should work when applying for research funding or fellowships, paper abstracts and book proposals, annual performance reviews...

@TimRyan Aren't you the guy who ran a whole Senate campaign built on Sinophobia? A strategy that didn't let you differentiate yourself from JD Vance?
