(113,982 posts)1. Say what you will about Wilson, but he is candid and honest about his past efforts, beliefs
and discusses fully what changed his mind and when he came to believe Republican economic philosophy (in particular) was bullshit.
Not so much a sociopathic and ruthless Karl Rove (and certainly not a "beyond redemption" Steve Bannon), but clearly he was both effective and not at all discerning as to who he helped.
I adore Franken. And people do open up to him. He disarms them with a chuckle and his wry humor while clearly exposing them fully.
