It's fascinating how a campaign resembles a startup: everything happening at once, everything in a hurry, money always tight, real esprit de corps. Then one day it just all ends, and the pros move onto their next battle...in this case 2020 (which they're already talking about).

That’s one of the weirdest things about working in politics. You’re together for an ever-growing and intense amount of time and then all of a sudden one day poof that’s it.

Yeah, seems really sad.

It kind of is, yeah.

There's a scene in that 80s classic 'Under Fire' where Nick Nolte plays a war photographer and Ed Harris a mercenary. They're friends during the Nicaraguan revolution, and observe and survive heinous atrocities. At the end Harris just says "See you in Cambodia..." and walks off.

Seems kind of what this political game is (minus the actual atrocities).

It’s such a unique thing that so few people outside of it can relate to that you form really strong bonds with the people you experience it with.

Yeah. Riding shotgun with the Kopser crew for a weekend was certainly an interesting experience. I don't think most Americans understand what real practicing politics really entails. I'd also never in a million years do it myself.
