I find Cam to be a mixed bag at best. He's generally awful on any foreign policy issue because he seems to have little knowledge of history or evolution of US policy and a general revulsion of the use of hard power to advance US strategic goals which is, IMHO, understandable if myopic given various US blunders from 2003 forward. In that sense he's probably representative of his age cohort, so if the goal is to have a Bulwark voice for that cohort, I guess the goal is being achieved, as much as I find myself in disagreement with him many times. He's better on internal US politics. He is left, not center left, which occasionally makes his interactions with Tim more interesting.
