13. I wouldn't rule it out.
Different things make people tick, and how they then tick differs also. It's not like FBI psychological profiles are required from volunteers before they are given roles with some responsibility in a campaign. A committment to playing hard to win can be a double edged sword. It's like in sports how football oaches want their players to "give it 110%" and always make hard tackles on the field. Whether players give it their all or not can make the difference between winning and losing, and none of us think that losing in politics is a sensible goal. But fired up players sometimes make dirty hits also, and draw serious fouls and suspensions. Just because a coach wants his players to make hard hits doesn't mean he wants them to literally attempt to give a Quarterback a concussion.
