I really appreciate your work, but I have a question about if you have changed your opinion about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Yesterday, when talking about Elizabeth Warren, you stated that Warren would “provide progressive cover for awful personnel” if she was VP, and the example you cited was the supposedly horrific personal at the CFPB.

However, you also wrote a long (and fantastic) essay about how wonderful the CFPB was when it was staffed by Warren’s people a year and a half ago, which to your credit you also brought up.

So I guess my question is, do you stand behind the idea that an agency that you loved and did wonderful things was staffed by awful personnel? Because honestly to me it just seems like you’ve decided to go scorched earth on everything Warren has ever done just because she didn’t endorse Bernie.

I mean personally I have a question for you.

If Tom Cotton is going to run in 2024 no matter what, then how is it more likely he wins beating an incumbent president, than running for an open seat?
