So, should he actually get elected and end up treating voters exactly as he treats fire hydrants and trees, well, I suspect many of them would understand, if not, in fact, be used to it. They say that most politicians have all of the attributes of a dog, except loyalty. I believe that's said as an insult. It implies that other than loyalty, dogs have no other positive traits.
Dogs have a lot of qualities, although loyalty is probably the most noteworthy.
Loyalty in public office is like a drop of mercury on a table top. It separates and rejoins in alarming ways. It can't be pinned down. It assumes any shape and melts into any handy alliance. Like those senators who voted out Margery Bronster as attorney general.
