The thing about politics is to plan 10 years ahead, and assume every year is your last.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been a politician long enough to know that every year will find us living in a situation that one couldn't have imagined a year previously. Sometimes it's better than we imagined, sometimes it's not as good.
Well, I've been in the political arena all of my life, and 10 years of that as a candidate and elected official, and that's about enough.
We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction.
In ten years I will become president of the United States Of America.
I don't know much about politics, but you have to look at it with the bigger picture and think what's best for us now, what's best for us in 10 years' time, what's best for our kids' kids' future - and I don't know.
Part of the problem in politics is that people only look at the next four to eight years: kick the can down the road and say, 'Hey, it's the next person's problem.'
I don't like to say where I'll be in 10 years.
Four years is a long time in politics.
I'm not driven to get back into politics. It's not on my top five things to do before I die, but saying that, I may be in politics in the next year or the next ten years. I've been on the front line for 12 years, four in state government, eight on the national level.
If you think you know where you're going to be 10 years from now, that's where you're at now. You're just putting it off.
