You know, if you're a state legislator, you vote wrong on a bill, nobody dies. You're a mayor, you're a governor. They can walk in any morning and say there's a mass murder, there's a building collapse. Yesterday was the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. We lost 50 people during Hurricane Sandy. Even though we did everything we could and we were prepared and we had the swift water rescue boats ready and special high axle vehicles. Still, we lost 50 people. (08:32–08:41)
