I wonder if new candidates understand how they’ll be set up for blackmail, as well as the endless temptations that power brings – the bribes, the lobby money, friends asking for special help and benefits for their businesses. And most of all that, as Tom Sowel said: “there are no solutions, only trade-offs”.
I think what you’ll find as a new office holder, is that your lifestyle & expenditures will expand, so that you feel a need for more money to cover all the obligations you never had to deal with before. You’ll want a raise, and feel more like you NEED it. You’ll be SEVERELY tempted toward small indiscretions at first, when they can benefit you & your loved ones. Those will then require your mind to start justifying your actions “for the good of others”, and you’ll slip down the slide of rationalization, and become just another RINO, saying “no one understands the pressures of this office, and has no right to judge me, without being in my shoes.”
