It’s all but dead

At long last, The Benjie showed his cards. Aces and Eights, a dead man's hand. The demagoguery of such an ambitious shift has only proven the mediocrity of his politics. He's up against the best in the business… Joe de V… Machiavelli in the flesh.
The Benjie's addled push won't mean anything. It wouldn't show the people of the 4th district he's the man, a dog who can bark and protect their interest. With all the scandals he is leaving behind, it could be the most unimaginable stupidity the people can do to themselves if they vote for him. A vote for The Benjie is a vote for the Devil.
We should ask ourselves, is it an act to duped Machiavelli? A subterfuge? A Lomibao? What will stop him from running? The price of "supreme sacrifice", what it will be? Machiavelli wouldn't fall to such a trap. He's too smart for that. This is how Machiavelli would deal with such eccentricity.
Let The Benjie cook in his own fat. Hammer on his head he can't swim upstream. Let him know his kind of politics is all but dead. Let him learn in politics rules are followed and discipline enforced. And when Machiavelli is done, let him hung to dry and goes with it the ambitions of The Little Benjie who has no place in Dagupan.
The Benjie and all he represents, is history… like those footprints in the sand at Bonuan… erased and carried away by the waves of change.
