00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			A lot of folks don't understand
about American politics is that
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:08
			when constituencies actually
affect change and demonstrate that
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			they have power, that they're this
swing gayest group in the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			electorate, both parties will
start to move in their direction.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			The first term won't necessarily
be a photocopy of the next term.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			If we demonstrate that we had the
impact that we hope we will, then
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			the Republicans will also move in
our direction, and the Democrats
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			will experience a reckoning,
remember, it's just four years,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:34
			the prophets struggled a huge
number of events and suffering
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:40
			again and again, torture, exile,
experience of famine, loss of
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			family members at battle before he
actually we entered into Mecca.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:51
			And so for years, under admittedly
a distasteful character is still
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			part of the overall struggle.
