Not the greatest intellectual thinkers of their generation. Loving the idea that the Director of the FBI is acting like an idiot and joining in with their celebration. Then the President phones in and says, "sorry, I have to invite the women's hockey team, too." Patel orchestrated the reaction. These dudes just followed along. Happy to win and oblivious to the political stage that they were on.
