That's a great breakdown. Trying to get into their heads for a minute, it seems like they saw adolescent drug use as a common enemy to rally voters around. So when you're beating that drum the loudest, you have to follow up by positioning yourself as the only hero who knows how to slay that particular dragon.

But man alive, what a failed campaign. In my neck of the woods, field trips to the paper mill were taken more seriously than yet another lecture from an officer in a lion suit.

Touché: “the only hero who knows how to slay that particular dragon.” (There’s much more where this came from!)
