It is really disappointing to see Tim O'Brien on Bloomberg's campaign team.

He is on MSNBC right now. Is he still a contributor/analyst, or just a guest?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Once Steve Schmidt started working for Howard Schultz his appearances stopped on all of those shows.

I was disappointed, too.

it could have just been a polite nicety.

Hearing him recite talking points... ugh.

I still appreciate him and all his insights regarding Trump, though.

Maybe he likes Mike and supports his vision. I don't know why people support several different candidates but I'm not disappointed. that they do. Primaries are for hashing this out. Mike is as serious as any of the other candidates. I support Joe but nothing against Mike or his success in business.

Several of the other pundits/commentators with long Business experience are impressed with Bloomberg.

I am wary of a Bloomberg candidacy, but I do think Tim O'Brien is sincere in his feelings toward him...

on the MSNBC list of preferred anti-tRump guests. If Bloomberg somehow wins the POTUS, O’Brien gets a cushy job in his administration.

It’s a huge financial win-win for O’Brien.
