    It's notoriously difficult to get students to come to events unless you offer pizza. :oops:

    I think Patrick would be leading the race by a large margin if he had entered early.

    Mathews thinks he is in the race just to blunt Warren in NH and RI.

    He comes off as very personable and down to earth with common sense.

    Would not be surprised if we start hearing Patrick as a VP to Biden which sets him up for 20/24.

    Obama isn't fooling anyone by shaving his head and trying to run for president again.

    The perfect candidate for the contended and clueless --Biden and a black Bain Capital guy. Almost like having a Biden-Romney ticket, but with a hint of concern about black people or sort of hinting of the 99% of whatever color.

    Whatever dude.

    he went on to Harvard for both undergraduate studies and law school. After graduating, he worked as a lawyer for the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund in the early 1980s, focusing primarily on death penalty and voting rights cases.

    Why are you so angry and entitled?

    I think you got it wrong, Duval Patrick is the guy who went to Harvard and now feels entitled to make millions loading up businesses with debt and then closing them down and laying off thousands and thousands. Not to mention that he feels entitled to jump into the race for president now.
    BTW check out his reception at Morehouse again.



    Check out Bain Capital's business practices.

    Check out what he actually did at Bain Capitol.

    A closer look at Bain Capital Double Impact reveals how Patrick’s work differs from the leveraged buyouts that Bain is known for. When the new fund launched in 2017 with $390 million, it was relatively large for the impact investment space, though small for Bain, which had around $75 billion in assets under management at the time. (As Patrick departs, Bain is raising a second Double Impact fund with a target of $600 million.) Like other impact investing funds, it’s premised on the idea that investing in the right companies can help solve social problems while investors make market-rate returns. But Double Impact also focuses on convincing CEOs of more traditional companies to consider “impact goals in addition to just financial goals,” says Adam Bendell, the CEO of Toniic, a global action community for impact investors. In other cases, it has helped companies that were already focused on social impact to scale up.

    You again make the mistake of thinking glynch cares. Working at Bain Capitol = EVIL! Any analysis deeper than that is too much to ask.

    Deval Patrick is bad because he's not Bernie. He could do endless good for the world and this would still be true.

    Responding in kind.

    Hey Major does not care. Bain Capital is a business widely accepted by moderate Republicans and Democrats and is therefore good -- no deeper analysis is required. . Patrick arguably made an improvement or two so we should be grateful, happy and content. Major would gladly aspire to devote his life to it if he was allowed to. Besides there are worse things a person could do. What more can we reasonably expect from presidential candidates. Patrick is better than Trump and we cannot always have "endless good for the whole world"{

    I was not looking to beat dead horse Patrick of the cancelled Morehouse College tour, but came across this while reading about Bloomberg's equally laughable attempt to hold the line for 1%. Duval Patrick made a lot of his early wealth as a "foreclosure mogul". Also reflects poorly on Patrick's bestie the ex-chosen one, Obama, who occasionally rouses himself from $400k speeches and celebrity life at Martha's Vineyard and tells the 99% to chill or quit being "woke"https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry...r-elite_n_5c0578afe4b066b5cfa49b66?ri18n=true

    The difference is that I'm able to view issues much more deeply than you. You literally knew nothing about Patrick's work except that he worked at Bain Capital, and that was enough for you. You're simply a tired schtick - you're basically the leftist version of Donald Trump's twitter feed.
