Wouldn't most of us have that sort of ego if we were a career politician holding one of the highest offices in the land in an era where politics have gotten so one-sided and divisive for most people that one base thinks you're some sort of messiah figure and the opposition base thinks you might be the single most important adversary they have?
I mean, did you catch those constant poli-commercials? Nearly every "random R candidate" had at least one focusing on how "random D candidate" was part of Team Pelosi and needed to be beaten or her liberal agenda will pass. To the degree it felt less about R beating D in some random race and more about R beating Pelosi.
Man, I know if I was in that situation, I'd be sitting back every night with a drink in my hand and a smile on my face because it's all about me in a "Who really is the straw that stirs the drink here?!?" way!
