"American politics is a struggle, not of men but of forces. The men become every year more and more creatures of force, massed about central power houses."

Previous Quote

The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.
