A bit of advice for someone who has been around the political block more |
|
than a few times...
Don't get so angry...
Don't have long term animosity toward people who criticize your candidate....
Ten years ago, I was supporting a candidate who ran against an old friend of mine...
In fact this gentleman gave me my first paying job in politics....
Now, I am working with his campaign manager on another campaign and I called and asked him to support the candidate...
If you are planning of being involved for the long haul, you can not personalize your feelings...
You never know when you might need the other persons help...
Try to approach politics like the football players approach a game...
Your opponent is across the field from you now, but you may get traded and have to work as a team member the very next game...
So please don't get angry and please don't burn any bridges...
You never know what tomorrow may bring...
But if this is going to be your first and only foray into elective politics, then have at it...
But if you want to effect change and stick around and remain part of the process, then thicken your skin...

2. As they say in show biz |

Be nice to the people on your way up; you'll meet them on your way down.

And it's very prudent advice. :hi:

There are too many emotional people here sometimes. Play nice, I'm off to get dinner.
Remember the slogan: YES WE CAN YES WE CAN VOTE HILLARY ! ! ! !
