All politicians are required to be 'second-handers'. They live off the opinions of others to gain votes. They appease their voter base by whatever means necessary. They will will delude and convince themselves of the imaginary. They will lie, cheat. and steal and impress upon others that their actions are warranted.
In doing so they forfeit vital values such as integrity, independence, and self-esteem. They are crowd surfing, being shoved around by the masses, with no direction or goals. Eventually the music will stop, the crowd will lose interest, and they will fall.
