Yes we (still) can

Yes, we (still) can: politics in the age of Obama, twitter and Trump / Dan Pfeiffer 291 pgs.

Sometimes funny, sometimes inspiring, it is great to read about a group of people who dedicated their energy to trying to do good things for others.  It didn't always work and the backstories about disagreeable congresspeople are perhaps historic insights.  Pfeiffer's own story is interesting because he tells us his philosophy is to always work harder and be devoted and that is the key to his success even in areas where he isn't all that competitive (see high school basketball).  Reading things like this can make one melancholy.  Let's hope we still can at some point in the near future.
