Donald Trump didn't cause chaos. Chaos caused Trump.

What we have done over the last 40 or 50 years is systematically attacked and weakened the parties, the political machines, the professionals, and insiders, and hacks, and all the tools that they use to get politicians to play well together. And with those gone, you get chaos.

Parties and political systems used to be about excluding renegades who would never play well with others in government. Now it's actually systematically screening them in.

In science we kill our hypothesis instead of each other.

We don't have a crisis of leadership in Washington. We have a crisis of followership.

After an hour or two of being socially on, we introverts need to turn off and recharge ... This isn't antisocial. It isn't a sign of depression.

There will be more coming afterwards if we don't re-empower politicians to get organized and work together.
