Politics in Philadelphia is a contact sport.

Politics is a blood sport.

Absolutely. I think that this is - politics is a tough business. I describe it as a full contact sport. You have to be prepared to get in there and mix it up.

There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.

I believe politics is a team sport. That, for awful and unfortunate reasons beyond any of our control, the American system only allows, effectively, for two teams.
