A terrible price.

Make me president of the USA. And I’d try to not play politics. Don’t know if that’s possible. Entering the political arena. And openly renouncing politics.  That, in itself, would be a shrewd political move. Doing as I please. Regardless of the consequences. That would be nice. But I wouldn’t be able to get away with it. I’d be rebuffed. Assassinated. Thing is. To get to that lofty position. I’d have to play politics. To the utmost. There is no other way. One must be thoroughly and totally corrupted. Yes, in order to reach the top, one must sell his soul. –Jim Broede
