We just got outplayed. I can admit that. They wanted it more than we did. We have to fix that before next week.

Most White Houses believe that a leak is an uncontrolled revelation where they're not in control of it. Otherwise, it's associated with implementation of policy.

No one is a failure until they blame somebody else.
advantage pressure though time turn venture wrong year
I wouldn't even venture to say how things are going to look a year from now. So much can happen. This may turn out to be an advantage more than a disadvantage for Republicans. This is the wrong time to make that judgment, even though there's pressure to do it.

Loyalty is something you give regardless of what you get back, and in giving loyalty, you're getting more loyalty; and out of loyalty flow other great qualities.
