Get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.
Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That's the only way you can get elected.
Learn the Constitution. Then when someone wants to be elected, hold their feet to the fire and make them follow it because that's what we need to get back to. It works so well when we follow it.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can only make a monkey out of the voters every four years!
I promise that as a president elected in a direct popular vote, I will try to be the voice of all citizens.
You can be president of the United States and have the best, most bipartisan-seeming idea in the world. But if it doesn't have a constituency, you might as well be town clerk of Toad Suck, Arkansas.
Once you've built the big machinery of political power, remember you won't always be the one to run it.
I'm not going to run for president. No way, no how.
If I get to be president, what can I do anyway? With Congress and the press, what chance do I have to make basic changes?
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
