Being brave doesn't get people elected: Lincoln's first rule and Bill Clinton is
to get elected anyway your can, then you can rule the way you want!

If you were advising a campaign it that would we done in weeks.

Winning a political fight takes money and smarts: Ideologues are useless, practical
people know what is prudent to win. The president is not just the Head of the Country
he is the Head politician in the country: He practices the art of what it possible, which
is the definition of politics.

Just remember we need to win at all cost the GOP is planning to take this country to
war: If Hillary and the Dem's lose we will all lose!!
