Ro hem något (lyckas vinna något åtråvärt)

Pull something off; bring home the bacon

So far so good, but he's got to bring home the bacon, and he's got a long way to go to do that.

I feel great, ... I'm a father and I have a family to take care of. My thinking has changed. I really realized I have to go out and bring home the bacon and do the best I can.

It seems like politicians and people that advise politicians always try and paint the competition with a bad brush. I would be kidding you if I told you different. I'm sure there's some tactician, some PR guy, already out there thinking how they can use this in November against somebody.

We were thrilled to bring home a trophy. But of course, with any competition, you had moments where you felt you could have done better.

Just like at home with bacon grease. You don't want to pour it into your drain, where it will cause problems.

Having the opportunity to represent your country is such an honor. I'm looking forward to some great competition and hope to bring home a victory for the U.S.

That was wealth, to him.

Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost, the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system.
