I always liked her. You knew her political leanings but she never seemed stridently partisan, which is a rare thing these days.

Her colleagues said she never became cynical or lost her love for politics. She did force NPR to clarify her role as a commentator when she wrote a column in 2016 calling on "the rational wing" of the Republican party to reject Donald Trump as their presidential candidate. :poke:
