I want him to write another book. From "Why We Did It":

"One big misconception about Washington is that money is the straw that stirs the drink. Activist types always demand we look to the money! Sometimes they are right, but the driving motivator for most during the Trump era was not a desire for riches. This town is not filled with Gordon Gekkos. More often, it's the other, more egocentric motivators that drive nefarious actions in D.C. Raising money remains important, but fundraising is really about status and power."

He's right, smart. So tired of the simplistic yelling how everything's about money, everyone's bribed and corrupt -- used to divide and attack Democrats.
