Question: Has anyone seen Tad Devine lately?

Last edited Mon May 30, 2016, 04:17 PM - Edit history (1)

Jane disappeared from television interviews immediately after Burlington College announced it was closing within a week.

And I haven't heard a peep from Tad Devine on the cable news shows.

His consulting firm depends heavily on business from Democratic candidates. I'm wondering if he's stepped away from TV interviews because of Bernie's recent recalcitrant moves.

On cable at least, it all seems to be Bernie and Weaver.

UPDATE: On May 28, Devine retweeted a tweet by Bernie. The last tweet written by Devine was on May 6.

Good point. When really examining his campaign, it was much more about a power grab, and less about eastwestdem May 2016 #23

Devine made a ton of $$$ from the campaign.

Maybe as it's winding down, so are his services.

of nearly irrelevant campaign surrogates who have obviously been promised something, and I shudder at the thought that any of them would represent us on the international stage, or even be welcome in the White House.

Nina spoke first and she was actually ranting, shouting and complaining about some imagined slight to Bernie. Joy just let her go at it like a mental patient. Weaver looked as if he wanted to drop through the floor when it was his turn. I couldn't watch because he seemed really miserable so I switched over to CNN.

Maybe he just can't handle a campaign running on Hate and Bull Shit 24/7

He might be jockeying for a position with Trump.

If Tad works for Trump, Hillary wins by a landslide for sure.

Tad's commissions would bankrupt Trump (again).
