It is a fine game to play - the game of politics - and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.
Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.
We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings.
I don't think it's really good once you've lost an election to sit around, watch your former opponent, and swipe at them.
Really, running an underdog, insurgent political campaign against an opponent many folks think can't be beat, and going out and meeting folks and talking about your ideas for America and Washington, is a lot of fun and a real privilege.
The game is meant to be fun.
Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews.
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.
