@1RobGunther Hey. I have insecurity issues! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@DemFromCT Though this sort of gets to my point. Pete joining McKinsey as his first real job is fundamentally different than Patrick deciding, after serving as governor, to cash out at Bain. I think the latter reveals a lot more than the former. — PolitiTweet.org

@DemFromCT Do I have to? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@tiimbitz4786 Absolutely! I never said that. In fact, the opposite. I said he does have some responsibility. But I don’t think it defines his life or ideological worldview. I know plenty of really good people who’ve worked for iffy institutions. Some of them are Pete’s harshest critics now! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Painful when the first tweet in your thread contains a glaring typo. I assume you all know I meant McKinsey — PolitiTweet.org

Now.... Unleash the ratio! — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

A person who was number-crunching at a consultancy ten years ago has to explain why that provides the experience and intellectual foundation for being commander in chief. I'm not sure there are great answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

And that is what the actual real "problem" is with the McKinsey work. It exposes just how limited Pete's experience is for the presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

While he made the choice to pursue this path, how responsible is he for the work product. He obviously has some responsibility. But a 27-yr-old doing analytical work for a client is not the same as, say, Mitt Romney's role at Bain. It's just not. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

It's overstated in one major respect though. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

It's also real in that he almost certainly worked on some project that involved "creating efficiencies" -- i.e. laying people off-- on behalf of a corporation. This is what consultancies do. And that's a problem, politically and culturally. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

The "problem"--if we must call it that-- is both real and, obviously, overstated.  It's real in that we absolutely should know this part of his bio. He's running for president. This is fair game. And I trust his aides know they need to push to disclose this stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

At the risk of incurring just a horrifying backlash, i have a few thoughts on Mayor Pete's "McKinley problem" that I've hesitated on sharing because of fear of the Twitter mob---but, you know what, F the mob. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long heard the chatter that Ken has the greatest taste in news outlets among anyone in the business. Today, he proved it. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes Is that not normal??? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

I think it’s worth asking how Trump would have reacted to this shooting if he were a candidate for president and not president. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

A reminder this morning, amidst another high-profile shooting, that 56 days ago Trump held an 'encouraging' call with Senators on gun policies, during which it was reported that a WH proposal would be coming in 24-48 hours. That proposal never actually came. — PolitiTweet.org
