17. I'll take 100 Katie Porters over 1 Jennifer Rubin, any day.

Anyone who can rub two brain cells together (and practice empathy) understands this moment clearly. If you’ve followed Porter, you’ll understand she’s being consistent in her critique of contemporary politics.

Rubin isn’t going to align herself against powerful intere$t$, who are quite happy with the $tatu$ quo. If she did, she’d loose her position, her access, and influence. Rubin isn’t a progressive or liberal (do the math).

So, of all the important political dysfunction and corruption in the United States, Rubin takes aim at Katie Porter. That should tell you something important.
