Sallust on Current Events

On the presidential campaign (De Catilinae Coniuratione 38.3):
While professing concern for the public good, they were each struggling for personal power. (bonum publicum simulantes pro sua quisque potentia certabant.)
On the Red/Blue divide (Bellum Jugurthinum 31.24):
Can peace or friendship exist in such antagonistic minds? (potestne in tam divorsis mentibus pax aut amicitia esse?)
