During a political campaign everyone is concerned with what a candidate will do on this or that question if he is elected except the candidate; he's too busy wondering what he'll do if he isn't elected.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nearly everyone who goes into a campaign is not only eager for the place he hopes to fill but for what might come after.
We need an honest politician in charge who doesn't care whether they are re-elected and is prepared to make the unpopular decisions.
People want someone focused on getting the job done, not political talking points but rather solving problems.
It's interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
Pity the poor senator or representative trying to stay alive in the political jungle. At every turn, there's a danger: a constituent who actually wants something done. Or worse, a campaign donor who might be offended by that something.
What people are looking for are candidates and representatives that are going to work hard, tell it like it is. I'm unafraid to do things when it doesn't poll well.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.
I'm not a politician. I'm not running for office. I can say what I think.
My wife always tells people, 'He's not going to be able run to for anything because I'm not going to let him start a campaign.'
The career of a politician mainly consists in making one part of the nation do what it does not want to do, in order to please and satisfy the other part of the nation.
