In our system, at about 11:30 on election night, they just push you off the edge of the cliff-and that's it. You might scream on the way down, but you're going to hit the bottom, and you're not going to be in elective office. ↗

A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office. ↗
