Yes. Look around. Some of the most powerful men in the world are gathered in this clearing. Members of one of our country’s most exclusive clubs. Invitation only unless of course you invite yourself.

This is where the real power is. No women or presidents allowed. The former I am not, the latter I will be again. Because I have managed to reduce a national election down to one state. And while these men here can’t swing the votes of an entire nation, one measly state – well that they can do. And that’s why I’m here. So welcome to Elysium Fields. House of Cards US s5e8: Chapter 60
