Bloomberg Senior Advisor Tim O'Brien on AM Joy

11. I like Medhi, but Tim battled him to a draw, IMO.

Medhi’s statement that neither he nor Tim have XYZ political baggage in their past (as does Mike) was effectively countered by Tim pointing out the one would think obvious fact that neither he nor Medhi were politicians who served as Mayor of NYC for 13 years, or a public figure who ran a multi-billion dollar company that employs tens of thousands of people accounts for them not having Bloomberg-level political baggage.

I felt a bit embarrassed that Medhi went for such a lame false equivalency. He usually does better. I’ve never seen Medhi go for the “uh-oh” sip of water during a back-n-forth until today, while Tim was offering his counter.

BTW - when Tim referenced this week’s Quinnipiac poll showing that Mike beats tRump by the widest margin of all D candidates, Medhi scoffed under his breath “that’s simply not true.” Is Medhi not aware of that poll, or was he trying to muddy the very clear waters exposed in that Q poll?
