Hunter S. Thompson: [G]etting elected President can be seen as a game. It’s a deadly serious game. It’s a very mean thing. I don’t know why people think that the Mafia is merciless and badder than you know — and yet they don’t assume that the President of the United States is in a position of such power, and that of course he’s going to use the same f___ing tools as the Mafia.
