They are not money mad. If they were only out for money they would never take a government job. They are also not hatemongers.
This exchange shows exactly why the left miscalulates and underestimates these people because they think they are just in it for the power, money or because they are vengeful. These people really believe that they are doing the right thing for the country. They have passed up much more lucrative jobs and careers to make the country a better place (at least what they think is a better place).
Until the left understands that these people really believe in what they are doing, they will always understimate them and the power of their message. The Democratics keep saying, well if we just improve our ground game, or we run better campaings, we will win. The Dems are losing the message game, because they really don't have a message and don't understand they are against people that have a message and really believe in it.
