  I picture dialogue like this:
  “John, what are you doing?” 
  “Reading.”
  “Why are you reading? We have interns for this. You’re 2:35 PAC appointment is here.”
  “It’s the bill.”
  “John, no one reads the bills. It takes too long. They read the summaries. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Washington is about leverage, John. It’s about who you know and who you can convince. You can’t just read all day. Otherwise you never make the connections that keep you here.”
  “Fine by me.”
  “John you can’t bail on your PAC. Their money got you here.”
  “No they didn’t. Voters did. I went door to door and street by street and talked to people to hear what was important to them. I came here to represent them. Now you’re telling me I can’t do the very thing I said I would do?”
  “John…”
  “You’re fired.”
context: Met fetterman in a bar once, sat down and talked to him for more than 2-3 hours. Actually a genuine person who cares. He’s a good dude and he got my vote and will continue to. >
  
  We need an army of John Fettermans and Katie Porters in both houses. >
  
  Fun fact that Katie Porter was a student under Elizabeth Warren and you can see where they both imbue that "tough teacher you respect" vibe.
  Keep an eye on Ruben Gallego who in 2 birds will remove Sinema from the picture and join the ranks of authentic Senators. >
  
  2 birds? >
  
  My shitty way of shortening, "to kill 2 birds with 1 stone."
  "with one stone" probably better.. >
  
  That is the face of civic duty. >
  
  Such a west wing character.
