Now, there can be advantages to having a guy like that on your team, but if anyone is looking for wisdom or insights about what the country needs in order to prosper, you don't go to someone like Carville or Rove. What do they know about that stuff?
They just get paid to persuade people and (hopefully) win elections. That doesn't mean they understand anything at all outside their little area.
And it certainly presents the possibility that they will be petulant and hurt if their guy loses and someone else comes up as a Winner. They may well strike out at such a person, just as a childish reaction. Again, it doesn't mean they have any deep insight into political philosophy. They're just mad they lost.
You lived up to your name with that post. Well said.
