Amateurs do tactics, experts do logistics, as we learn in the military.
When there's no light at the end of the tunnel, it's hard to keep things going.
You can get so focused on a strategy and making it work that you lose sight of your larger mission.
Before the CFPB, there was no single agency or entity within the federal government tasked with protecting Americans from predatory or negligent practices of banks, credit card companies, mortgage lenders, payday lenders, credit rating agencies and other financial service businesses.
In the Navy, I slept mere feet from a nuclear reactor, so I have no knee-jerk opposition to traditional reactors.
For a public option, I voted for that when I was in Congress, and the Senate couldn't stand up to the health insurance industry and took it out.
Look, it's no longer about capacity, how many ships, how many air wings, how many battalions. It's about capability.

The greatest brotherhood, sisterhood that I was ever a part of are veterans.
Some of the greatest national security threats we face cannot be defeated or defended by traditional military hardware, but only by greatly enhanced cyberspace warfare, including both offensive cyber-warfare and cyber-security.
We need a president who will stand up for the CFPB and get it back into fighting shape. It is too important to be allowed to disintegrate.
We did more to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions with a computer virus than we ever could have with bombs (and we did still more with diplomacy - the abandonment of which is also bad for our military, because militaries can only stop a problem, not fix a problem).
The Iran deal was working. As a solution to the problem of Iran developing nuclear weapons, it was actually working quite well.
