My hunch - knowing the deep-seated patriotism of so many in our national security apparatus, Republicans and Democrats alike, who have foresworn private sector riches in order to lead a life of service - is that no information that could compromise America’s true positioning

quantitative evidence does not yet indicate such helplessness. Rather, the math thus far suggests - by omission rather than inclusion of data - that Democrats need less professional and residential homogeneity across candidates. It’s not necessarily a silver bullet. But it
