Terrific book w/ fascinating stories about the last half-century in American politics, from someone who had a front-row seat to all of it.

In the book, I wrestle with being bullied as a kid — and with why a plurality of American voters chose a bully like Trump for president again in 2024.
It’s my story. It’s also the story of America.
I hope readers will find it helpful for understanding how we combat the bullies in the years ahead.
