It takes the ability to run fast over a given distant. This means enough quick twitch muscle fiber properly trained. Many, many sprinters are very hyper and possess other characteristics.
I'm very familiar with what characteristics are required to be successful in the political process, and being rigid, tied to a moral code is an impediment. One must either see every shade of gray or jettison the moral code altogether to be successful and to navigate it.
It's akin to assessing what is important to be a great sprinter.

By the way, I am still trying to wrap my head around this nonsensical argument.
You seem to be arguing that politicians have to be sleazy dirtbags in order to be successful. In other words, you should admire the politicians who are the sleaziest of all the others, because they best exemplify the characteristics that make them successful.
How does that make any sense? And why do you despise politicians so much if you believe they are just trying to be all they can be by lying, cheating and stealing?
