Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea of managing expectations in politics. It suggests that by voting for a candidate who promises the least, there is less room for disappointment when those promises are not kept. It implies that politicians often make lofty promises during their campaigns, but tend to fall short on fulfilling them once in office. Therefore, by opting for a candidate who makes fewer promises, there may be a lower likelihood of being let down by unfulfilled commitments.
