Are these good men so convinced he can win, and that they will be part of that cadre of cons, that they are bought into it, just to win? What!?

Are these good men thinking, "What can it really cost? What could it really mean? He's only gonna be the President of the United States. Look how we tied up the last one. We just won't do anything he wants. He doesn't know enough to do us any harm. Yeah, it'll just cost money. We can afford that. What's he gonna do?"

It's winning! What's honor got to do with it?

What!
