[Attention Surplus Disorder]

What’s a “retail politician”? Someone who appeals to the poorly informed average voter? What a great way to turn the county into Venezuela, to elect so-called leaders who make gimmedat promises.

And so what is a wholesale politician? One who accepts his/her standard level of graft and doesn’t cause too much trouble?

Nah, more like a “snake-oil salesman”.
