... I still have sympathy for some of the people who've fallen from grace in Washington. The feeding frenzy can be so unforgiving, especially in this day of nonstop cable news.
In a way I think Bill Clinton is more likely to forgive and move on or at least try to woo people who don't love him. But he never really tried to woo the press as much as he might have.
There's nothing Trump can do that won't be forgiven.
America is not doctrinaire. It's hard for an American politician to come up with an ideological position that is permanently unforgivable.
It seems to me the American people never really forgave the Democrats for being right about Vietnam.
I am a living example of PM Modi's tolerance... he forgave me though I publicly attacked him.
I think that a good Left is a party that always thinks about the future and doesn't care much about our past sins.
I always enjoy watching Republicans compliment Bill Clinton now, because at the time, I'm sure he didn't feel a lot of the love.
Yet by such worthless beings is a great nation to be governed and even made to deify their old king because he is only a fool and a maniac, and to forgive and forget his having lost to them a great and flourishing empire.
I'm falling back on what some of the standard protocols for politics are after victory. We in America do not prosecute defeated political enemies.
I don't know if there's any secret recipe. Just a lot of hard work. Pay attention to your constituents. I always had a great Iowa staff that did all my great constituent service work. And I found that people would forgive me for a lot of my "liberal sins" because I paid attention to the home front.
