Joe, perhaps the greatest motivation to run for an elected office that allows you to spend most of your time in DC is your eligibility to join the "legal" insider trading club. Unabashed politicians who hide behind weak explanations as to their trading successes. Remarkable, exponential growth in net worth while setting policy and protecting the little guy. Thanks for shining a white-hot spotlight on an apparently widely deployed and widely condoned side hustle. Deplorable. Reprehensible. Despicable. God bless America.
Unfortunately, for too many your characterization of their motivation is spot on. That said people like Jamie Raskin, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie, Sanders, Chris Murphy, and John McCain exemplify what we desperately need in Washington. I may not agree with all of their positions, but I do applaud their integrity.
Joe, do you think that the MAGA/GOP even care? These people will do anything with the full support of their Kool-Aid drinkers! It’s a true free-for-all. We have power in the vote, but the Dems need to get their act together immediately. Many young men have crossed over the bridge in the name of Christianity and thus voted red. They’re being sold a bill of goods that a hot meal will be on the table when they come home from a hard day's Work, and their wife will have on a dress and an apron with a martini, waiting at the door! The Dems need to pepper the “leaders” ( I use that word very lightly now) with millennials and Gen Z to appeal and bring this party back together!
Morning Sharon - my sense is many MAGAs have no idea what they voted for, but were duped by BS about criminal immigrants and believed Trump's BS about ending wars and inflation on Day One.
They are now learning Trump's lies will hurt them and their families.
Some will turn against him...unfortunately others won't be able to admit their terrible mistake.

Thanks for the note Stryker

Be well, Joe
You are so speaking the truth! Take care!
