If someone like myself cannot get elected it is because too many of those whose views I represent are busy supporting someone they admit they hate, who does not represent them. So, don't blame me. All I'm doing is raising the standard.

"If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God."

That comment is utterly invidious of the structure and realities of the American political system. Can’t say whether its just ignorant, or if its deliberately deceptive, but it offers nothing of use to the debate for those honestly seeking solutions.
