I agree money is involved, but it's more than that. I feel like 10 years ago if someone in the party (either party) suggested that kids were pooping in litter boxes the rest of the party would have said "uhh that's crazy ". Now there is this GOP thing going on where you aren't allowed to call each other out, even if the other person is clearly unhinged (MTG). to me, that sounds dangerous as fuck, as the crazies whip up more crazy unchecked.

If GOP candidates aren't willing to call out the craziness, they can't be trusted in government.

To bring this full circle, Fung seems like a decent guy, and hasn't done a bad job from what I can tell, but he doesn't have the strength of will to admit that half (or more) of his party is completely nuts. That makes him an unsuitable candidate for office, regardless of what he personally believes.
