Candidates don't have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy.

  • -- Fred Barnes 弗雷德·巴恩斯

候选人不必面对现实。他们谈论他们能完成的美妙的事情,好像提倡它们和实现它们是一样的。他们生活在一个政治虚幻的世界里,从调和利益冲突到为昂贵的项目买单,一切都很容易。
