Bain Capital was from created and headed by Mitt Romney. what wasn't good for the goose should not be good for the gander. Regardkess of their professed party affiations.

His biggest liability is that there are already better candidates in the race for the nomination.

Other liabilities: Having zero organization or volunteers in any of the states just over two months out of Iowa.

No pots can call other kettles black when it comes to the Democratic or Republican party in politics. Every candidate has a tie in corporate America that is not flattering.

Non starter

Blood?

No one knows who the h.... he is, that’s his liability

No his liability is he is no better than the existing candidates. Have you heard him speak lately?. His assessment of the Democratic party is flawed and just as clueless as the whole DNC leadership. But it will make for good debate TV.

... big announcement met with a big yawn, followed by “Who?” ... buddy, do as AOC suggests and run for Senate... better use of your millions

We don't need another person in the race!

And the current occupant is a saint? Give me a break with this garbage.

Is there any relationship?

Ties to healthcare and Texaco. Bain Capital. Protecting his brother-in-law from having to register as a sex offender while MA governor.

Deval is not good for the country. The price of medicine and healthcare are 90% higher than the rest of the world. Expecting Deval to fix the money problems of most Americans is like rolling dices 🎲 for a 30-years-old horse 🐴 to win a race.

No one asked for Deval to enter so late. Such a weird move by him.

You write this, knowing what type of vermin you call a president at the moment? Do better.
