Without a good mentor people find themselves running in place. You are making decisions and going down roads blind. No amount of hard work will compensate for going the wrong direction.

But that’s just how Frank would want us to perceive him for he warns us, his co-conspirators, that “The heart can choke the mind when all of its blood comes rushing back to it”. We don’t feel happy when Frank pounds the President’s desk, his desk, two times to end Season 2, because we don’t love him. We feel accomplished, because we conspired with him to secure our man as the President.
