Also, consider how lonely and sad and infuriating and frustrating it is when you know for a fact that the man will win for reasons which will not even occur to everyone else in Washington, you’re the only one in Washington who knows, and everyone else is concerned with immediate tactics while you’re concerned with the end game. You’re all alone. Yet, you’re the only one who knows and ends up correct. Your solution is the only solution. Your analysis is the only analysis that matters. And it never occurs to anyone around you. And you have everyone where you want them to be because you know. You’re several steps ahead. Like chess pieces in a huge chess game. How do you think it makes someone feel?
