Man, I think I’m going to run national public office and deliberately lose! I can keep the leftover money and buy a nice house in the Appalachians, and enjoy my retirement free from scrutiny forever after.
Who wants to win? You live in a goldfish bowl from the time you win to the time you leave office. No thank you-I’ll just do like Bernie and Jill and run, taking subtle care to lose, and then retire to my nice new home, while,the winner gets to deal with constant scrutiny and criticism for the next four years.
Sounds like a great plan to me!
I lot of liberals were angry at John F. Kerry after his '04 loss when it was found that he still had $20 million of unspent campaign funds.
