Consider this exchange from the end of Primary Colors. Couldnt this be the transcript between Sen Clinton and the electorate? Its been 16 years. We need to move on. This game has corrupted.
Clinton: This is it, Henry. This is the price you pay to lead. You don't think Lincoln was a whore before he was president? He had to tell his stories and smile his back-country grin. He did that so one day he'd have the opportunity to stand before the nation and appeal to our better nature. That's where the bullshit stops. That's what it's all about. Making the most of it, doing it the right way.
You know that there are plenty of people in this game who don't think that way. They'll sell their souls, lie to people, divide them, play on their fears, for nothing. Just for the prize.
Henry: I don't care. I'm sorry, but I'm not comparing the players. I don't like the game.
Clinton: Who can do this better than me? Is there anyone else who can win this election. . . .
