Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

About This Quote

I’ve always thought that politics is about finding trouble and then claiming the problems are your own. That’s just what I did when I was in high school. I would blame problems on others, even though it was clear that the problems were me. And, I would then ignore my own faults and try to pass them off onto other people. My grandmother - who has worked in politics her whole life - told me once, “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.”
