S06E18 La Palabra
4 days till California primary ,Santos still third every where
跟他对阵的两人，一个是前任副总统，一个是现任副总统
屋漏偏逢连夜雨，整个Santos竞选团队的资金又见底了，甚至把Santos逼到了要抵押自己房产的地步
只有在加州的初选里拿到第二，才能筹措到继续竞选的资金

Ms Santos: what chances do we have of coming in second,josh?
Josh: we have a chance
Ms Santos: what chance?
Josh: pretty small one

两个字，绝望

Leo to Josh: it's your job to doubt, it's his(Santos) job to believe

Josh: he got it from me. he believes it, because i hammered it into him.

Josh to Santos: we are not gonna win the nomination. I made myself believe it.
you should go to La Palabra, make a strong statement against the driver's license bill.
you should remember who your friends are, not some name on index card,but the people you're going back to
and then you should take a bow ,and you should step off the stage

除了绝望还是绝望。这时候，“理智“ ”有经验“的Leo和Josh都觉得Santos没戏了。可Santos还是孤注一掷的签了房产抵押文件好继续竞选。或许已开始他就很清楚，在这场只有一个赢家的角斗中，自己未必有多大希望，这可能也是他一直不太关心民调数字的原因之一。但他还是把全部的激情投入到竞选中，把自己的message传达出去。他是一个真正的理想主义者，他真正的在意health care和education，才能把记者们最关注的民调数据问题不断的拉回到issue上。

然后，奇迹出现了，或许不是偶然
