Doris Kearns Goodwin:
"I mean, why aren’t the best people running for office now?
Because they know they’re going to have to spend their time raising money, tons and tons of money.
They know their private lives are going to be exposed."

The short take:
John Stewart:
“We have an electoral, industrial
complex that needs to be broken up.”
Doris Kearns Goodwin
Well you know what John? We created these problems. We can solve these problems. We can change things. We can have a political revolution. We can make it so that money is not in politics. We can do these things.
I mean, why aren’t the best people running for office now?
Because they know they’re going to have to spend their time raising money, tons and tons of money.
They know their private lives are going to be exposed.
They don’t think they’re going to get much done because the two parties are at loggerheads.
We’ve created these problems by the system we’ve created. We can change that system.
