I've been around a long time but it never ceases to amaze me how so-called political people, public people at any rate, put their emotions into this business. Emotions have no place at all. You have to consider people, colleagues and for policy's sake, but you have to be cold.
There was a fellow today, with a "checkmark" and a fair platform, who made appalling slurs and threats against the Mrs. Bruenig's children. His reasoning, if you like, was that she alone, or she and her husband, brought Tanden down.
You always leave children out, of course. But beyond that, can you imagine getting so hot under the collar about Tanden? Or Andrew Cuomo? It beggars belief!
If you expose your neck in politics, someone will stick a knife in it. If you have enough friends, they'll help you duck it, or pull it out before it goes too deep. And if you don't have enough friends, it's your own fault.
