Well, I don't think most Americans are playing the super-PAC game. I think what you have is elites on both sides playing the super-PAC game.
Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.
You can't take a congressman to lunch for $25 and buy him a hamburger or a steak or something like that. But you can take him to a fund-raising lunch and not only buy him that steak, but give him $25,000 extra and call it a fund-raiser - and have all the same access and all the same interactions with that congressman.
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
If you chose to serve in Congress or on a congressional staff, you should be barred for life from working for any company, organization, or association which lobbies the federal government.
I'm not a complete libertarian. There is a proper role in some areas of the government to have rules and regulations - I'm not an anarchist.
I'm a hypercompetitive individual.
I'm a human being. I'm not perfect.
I try to avoid saying anything positive about any presidential candidate for fear that if I actually like them then I will kill their campaign.
I think the American people deserve somebody telling them what is really happening in Washington.
I'm not asking people to feel sorry for me.
I'm not exactly the endorsement people are seeking.
I'm not trying to become popular.
I'm an aggressive person.
