"DANCE WITH THE ONE THAT BRUNG YA"

POLITICAL MAXIM

• When you mess up something, it's extremely hard to rebuild a reputation.
• Stay with your party throughout wins and losses.
• Don't use up the political party and then throw it away.

RONALD REAGAN

• Remained loyal to the Republican party
• Paid special attention towards Republican journalists
• His only flaw was being involved in the Iranian Arms Affair
• He never tried to switch parties after his mess up, he only wanted
• To rebuild his reputation among the GOP.

"Given up for dead by the pundint, Reagan reached back into his idealogical arsenal and won the hearts of the GOP heard liners."

JOHN B CONNALLY

• He tried to switch parties
• He tried to get democrats to vote for the Republican candidate, Nixon
• He ended up spending $12 million only to elect Ada Mills

"One of the most important rules of loyalty is to commit it to the right person. Once you're aboard, it's hard to ignore the captain. Once you've served, it's impossible to deny whom you've served."

Once you have joined a party, you can not forget which party you are apart of. You can't deny whom you have served. Staying loyal is always the most important thing.
