    Final thought: Dem wonks should refrain from harassing decent people who join Trump administration. We want him to have good advisors.

        It’s tough. I don’t know if I’d take the job. The point is, if someone does: applaud them. We want good people in there.

        I can't speak for wonks or others, but I'll be taking a hiatus from politics. Trump is the Rs mess. They can clean it up.

        Why would it ever matter what Dem wonks do. Harass or otherwise. We're powerless. Period. It's all in their hands.

        Because we don’t want good people to hold back for fear that they’ll be tainted by association.
