Ezra Klein

Every single day I discover some new story that is like would have been the end of any other politician I've covered.

Asaf has figured out how to tell that story very, very well.

But one reason is that he often he moves it to be as about Donald Trump.

And also about the Democratic Party, also about the existing institutions, right?

See, I get why people voted for him.

Because even before he came on the scene, America had the most corrupt political system in the Western world.

It's been running on corporate money, secret money, billionaire money, both sides.

And it's worse than ever now.

Citizens United was the worst court decision in modern American history.

And when members of Congress aren't begging for money from lobbyists, they're trying to dodge getting carpet bombed by these super PACs.

And see, this is why nothing works for ordinary people.

It's not because of woke college kids or trans students or because there are interracial couples in cereal commercials.

It's because the people's elected representatives don't represent the people.

They represent the donors.

There's a credibility.

He's very careful always to do this, which again is another Obama move.

Obama would always include an argument from the other side in the argument he was making.

Always.

Always.

Yeah, right?
