The politician in my country seeks votes, affection and respect, in that order. With few notable exceptions, they are simply men who want to be loved. – Edward R. Murrow
As a politician, you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail every day. I think I prefer being in a situation where generally people are rooting for me, and if they arent rooting for me, they arent out there to see my downfall. I respect the people who have the stomach for it. – John Legend
