How to use politician in a sentence?

1. Aristophanes:

   Under every stone lurks a politician.

2. Brian Deschanel:

   A politician's covenant to people, is the Judas Kiss with lipstick.

3. Donald Trump:

   Well, I thought the debate was excellent. I thought the debate was interesting to watch, so I enjoyed watching. Like I said, I'm a businessperson, not a politician, so I'll leave politics to other members of the family and the many, many people who are involved in the race on both sides. So we'll see who emerges.

4. Maurice Barrs:

   The politician is an acrobat he keeps his balance by doing the opposite of what he says.

5. Frank Mankiewicz:

   A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence. For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).
