I don't even have to read it to know it's great if it comes from you. What I want to know is why don't you like my memoir? I put the first two chapters up on Substack for free. Do I need to write a political post for you to subscribe or recommend me for free? I can do that. I know you know that but I will again if it will help you to make a decision. Love (agape), Leigh (your superpower is your insight)

Hi Rick....loved this one! Kinzinger is really engaging to listen to...hope he reinvents himself as a Democrat....I know it’s hard for you X-Repubs to own that thought but I think the Dems need more of you guys signing up...hope you and Adam aren’t wasting your time thinking the GOP will be anything worth supporting in the near future...xx G

This was a very good discussion, Rick. Renegade? Yes! Maverick, perhaps down the road. Adam Kinzinger could be a bit of both. I think that is a good thing. But actually, who really cares? What I heard was a person of moral courage with leadership qualities. Nice to hear that perhaps down the road he might seek some sort of service, political or otherwise. Thanks again, Rick for all you do.

Why renegade? Why not maverick? A renegade is someone who switches sides and then switches back. He re negates. See eg the essay "renegade kautsky" by lenin. Apostates similar a reconverted apostates nearly the same. I use words with care.
