All is not "pure" in politics. If Hillary surrogates are marked by their associations so should BS

surrogates.

Ted Devine Campaign advisor worked at Winston & Strawn LLP, the law firm that has represented Monsanto, he also worked for Jon Corzine who got $400 million golden parachute when he was forced out as CEO of Goldman Sachs. ….

Devine, unlike other Gore advisers, suggested taking on Bradley by questioning his credentials as a Democrat. He also used his extensive knowledge of the Democratic party rules to help ensure Gore's victory in the primary by lobbying members of the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee to disallow any primaries in the five weeks between New Hampshire and Super Tuesday. His aim was to minimize Bradley's political momentum should he win the New Hampshire primary and maximize the effect a New Hampshire loss would have.” …..

As lead negotiator for the Dukakis campaign at the 1988 Rules Committee, Devine was involved in the Democratic party's 1988 reform that eliminated winner take all methods of delegate selection and established proportional representation as the exclusive system of delegate allocation in the Democratic Party.
