Win one/ lose one

Win one/ lose one From Federalist #55 “In all very numerous assemblies, of whatever character composed, passion never fails to wrest the sceptre from reason. Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly should STILL have been a mob.” True. “I am equally unable to conceive that there are at this time, or can be in any short time, in the United States, any sixty-five hundred men (in State legislatures) ) capable of recommending themselves to the choice of the people at large, who would either desire or dare, within a short space of two years ( their term in office), to betray the solemn trust committed to them.” False.
