Politics, for me, is not a competition to see who's got the bigger ego. It's working together for the good of the people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
American politics is always an open competition.
I don't think that politics attracts the best and the brightest of America. It doesn't attract the most sincere people.
Activity in politics also produces eager competition and sharp rivalry.
I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others.
Politics are close to me, but there are different ways of participating in politics.
I love hard political debate and I love beating somebody on a political point but what I'm more frustrated by is the politics where you play the man not the politics.
Any time you have a competitive situation like politics is, there are winners, and there are people who don't win, and their supporters can sometimes be very emotional.
I think it is better when people with their own businesses and means of income join politics as there is some degree of honesty and integrity.
Politics means competition, especially in senior positions. If you don't know that, you're not especially suited to politics.
Politics is a contest among people of diverse backgrounds and philosophies, advocating different solutions to common problems. The system only works when principled, energetic people participate.
