Summary

This quote is a playful jab at the Democratic Party and their nominee. The phrase "rhetorical smoke" refers to the political rhetoric used by the Democrats, which is metaphorically compared to smoke. The line suggests that just like their nominee, who famously said "I didn't inhale" when questioned about marijuana use, it is best to not take their talk or promises too seriously. Essentially, it indicates that one should be cautious and not fully believe all the persuasive tactics deployed by the Democratic Party.

The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
