We are all intuitive politicians.
- We are obsessed with polls
- Our in-house press secretary automatically justifies everything
- We lie, cheat, and justify so well that we honestly believe we are honest
- Reasoning (and Google) can take you wherever you want to go
- We can believe almost anything that supports our team
