Track 22: Assembling the dream team for the NY legislature. Checkmate against Hamilton.
One man isn't enough.
I need a team.
I need a slate so heavy it breaks the scale.
Who can beat Hamilton? Who has the name?
General Gates! The hero of the game!
He’s old, he’s vain, but the people love the star.
Put him on the ticket, he’ll carry us far!
Next!
Governor Clinton! Or his nephew, at least.
Feed the ambition, feed the beast.
The Livingstons? Get them on board.
Unite the factions! Draw the sword!
The Slate! The Slate!
It’s undeniable! It’s great!
We have a General! We have a Judge!
We have the families who hold a grudge!
It’s a masterpiece of political art!
Every single man plays a perfect part!
The Slate!
Hamilton looks at the list and he pales.
He knows that his strategy fails.
He’s running nobodies! He’s running his friends!
This is where his dominance ends.
I convinced them all to run for a seat.
I promised them victory! I promised it sweet!
Brockholst! Osgood! Storms and swarms!
We’re breaking the rules! We’re breaking the norms!
"I'll run!"
"Count me in!"
"For the party!"
"For Burr!"
It’s perfect.
It’s absolutely perfect.
The Slate! The Slate!
It’s undeniable! It’s great!
The Federalists don't stand a chance!
We’re leading them in a deadly dance!
The Slate!
