That's a really good take. And nationally the Republicans almost invariably win because they both fight dirty and spend far less time pretending to care about policy and far more grabbing.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
