25. Aaahh, bareknuckled politics like in the good ol' days...
No, I'm not excusing what they did there, but sometimes it does get rough. And there will be a lot worse going on in some areas up until November.

The Clintons have built a juggernaut of a campaign machine, and a lot of their people are old school-- no finesse and scorched earth is fine with them as long as you win. But, one of the first rules of politics is never hold a grudge unless it's personal. And with Hillary's juggernaut it's not at all personal. It's "just business."

So, sometimes you're just gonna get run over, and the thing to do is just get up and keep on going. And then if Hillary does win maybe not forgive, but try to forget and still keep going. That's just he way it's gonna be, so get on board with Hillary, or get out of the way.

And, yeah, my guys got sandbagged, blindsided, and generally screwed in Joisey dirty politics more often than you wanna know, so I know how it feels. But you still gotta go on 'cause you are gonna win a few here and there.
