"However, Bonaparte had no long political career behind him and was able to depict himself as "all things to some men"." - what does this mean? I suppose it wants to express, on the contrary, that Bonaparte was able to offer "something to all men", giving most fractions good reasons to be voted. Is there a better translation/wording? --KnightMove (talk) 09:00, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
