There is so much to appreciate about this interview! But I wanted to highlight is how Neyfakh reported on this story, which is a great lesson for aspiring journalists (and boy, do we need them now more than ever):
"If you can be vigilant about writing down every name you come across as you read old newspaper articles and transcripts of interviews you can really get a pretty stacked cast at the end. Even if you don't necessarily get the people in the very inner circle, sometimes that can force you into finding more interesting, more surprising voices to be your witnesses."
I didn't know much about his political career, so this is fascinating! Interesting to consider the alt life for him if he won the governorship, versus, say, a Bill Clinton, who could also just as easily have had a TV career if he'd lost.
