Quotes 

• Tom Kirkman : In the end, perception is everything. I've been fighting on behalf of the American people from the second I was sworn in. Now they think I'm fighting against them.

  Mike Ritter : No, they don't, sir. Everywhere we go, you inspire people. But the problem is...

  Tom Kirkman : It's all right, Mike. Finish the sentence.

  Mike Ritter : Sir, when someone takes a cheap shot, you don't respond.

  Tom Kirkman : I don't like mudslinging. It's not who I am.

  Mike Ritter : Don't sling mud, sir. Sling hope. See, that's the fight people want. It's the hope you give them. And sometimes it gets lost under all these attacks.

  Tom Kirkman : You might just have a future in politics, Mike.

  Mike Ritter : [snickering]  No, sir. I like my fights where I can see them. Right in front of me.

  Tom Kirkman : Smart.
