and discusses fully what changed his mind and when he came to believe Republican economic philosophy (in particular) was bullshit.

Not so much a sociopathic and ruthless Karl Rove (and certainly not a "beyond redemption" Steve Bannon), but clearly he was both effective and not at all discerning as to who he helped.

I adore Franken. And people do open up to him. He disarms them with a chuckle and his wry humor while clearly exposing them fully.
