1. I don't know why he ever got in to begin with.

[virgogal]

2. He's out of options.

[BusyBeingBest]

3. He has about the same options that I have. None of which is being President.

I actually forgot he ran for President.

6. he might be in the running for the final 8 or so possible VP's for a nominee Klobuchar

Not saying that Amy will be the nominee BTW.

10. He wouldn't be a bad choice maybe, but I can't say that I'm all that familiar

with him.

[Celerity]

15. He is a superb speaker, Obama wanted him to get in in 2015, but he said no due to his wife.

the farther left progressives hate him because he worked for Bain Capital, although that is a typical spin up, as his position there was.............

He joined Bain Capital in 2015 as a managing director to form the new business. In January, Todd Cook was promoted to co-managing partner to lead Bain Capital Double Impact alongside Mr. Patrick. Mr. Cook had moved over to Bain Capital Double impact in 2017 from Bain Capital Private Equity where he had been a team member since 1996. Mr. Cook will continue to lead Bain's Double Impact business. The team consists of four managing directors and three principals.

This is not the only personnel change made at Bain Capital Double Impact since December. During the period, Cecilia Chao, who recently switched to managing partner from an operating partner, moved to Bain Double Impact from its private equity business, after being an informal adviser to Double Impact. In December, Peter Spring was promoted to managing director from principal. He has been with Double Impact since 2017 and a member of the Bain Capital Private Equity team since 2005.

Bain Double Impact has completed 11 investments in sustainability, health and wellness, and education/workforce development.

19. Oh yes, I do remember him mentioned in the same breath as Bain.

And that he and Obama were close.

20. This guy? Uh-huh.

''As a candidate for president in the #MeToo era, former governor Deval Patrick is facing renewed scrutiny for a controversial move he made late in his tenure — endorsing a decision that a man convicted of “spousal rape” did not have to register as a sex offender in Massachusetts, in a legal dispute that continues to this day.

The man, Bernard Sigh, is Patrick’s former brother-in-law. Years ago, Sigh had appealed an order to register in Massachusetts for a conviction of “spousal rape” in California.

The brother-in-law would rape the wife (Duvals sister), a second time after a break-up. Duval fired two people in retaliation who tried to insist that Sigh register.

Anyone would need to have their head examined to choose him.

4. I didn't know he had any

[RandySF]

5. It's a shame he never gained traction

[George II]

7. "Options"? When there's only one choice they're not called "options"!

[Blue_true]

11. He's a politician. Dark clouds are always baby-blue to them. nt

[Blue_true]

8. He should have never gotten in. I have no idea what he saw, but

the sign was clearly wrong.

[BusyBeingBest]

13. He saw what Bloomberg saw, but didn't have a bazillion dollars.

[Blue_true]

14. Decent point made. nt

[Croney]

9. It was a puzzling run.

[jls4561]

12. So Yang is out, Steyer is out, Patrick is reconsidering...

What's up with Tulsi Gabbard?

[George II]

17. Turns out that Steyer has denied that he's out, but Gabbard is "speaking to her supporters" tonight.

[Codeine]

16. I will also be discussing my options

with my family in the morning, to wit;

Life, or Cinnamon Life? The decision will have a similar impact on the upcoming election cycle.

[George II]

18. Me: pancakes or waffles, decaf or caffeinated, etc.
