when someone said to hamilton and talked about the majesty of the people, hamilton replied, the people are a beef. what is really the take away this evening is to give you, before i give you the smears of what you really want to hear, is to give you some ways to think about this election, that i think at least helps you understand a lot about the actors on both sides. and the most important, and i think most neglected aspect of this time is that today, we regard a one-party system as antithetical. we joke about the democratic republic's in eastern europe are in the soviet period. but we should remember that the founders of all political parties in fact believed that america would be a one-party country. when washington created his first cabinet, and it was intended to embrace individuals of all political stripes and to capture the mood of the nation. they were revolutionary. this was taken 68. they believed individuals are put aside self interest and put the common good, and that they would be a real consensus. i think that is very important, because it means the whole idea of the posi
