Scoop: Buttigieg hires McAuliffe adviser Michael Halle to senior staff (2019)
Axios ^ | Jul 29, 2019 | Alayna Treene

Posted on 02/04/2020 1:27:59 PM PST by yesthatjallen

South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has hired Michael Halle — a close adviser to former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe who most recently ran Richard Cordray's failed 2018 campaign for Ohio governor — as a senior strategist, the Buttigieg campaign confirmed to Axios. It is unclear when his official start date is.

Why it matters: Halle, who also ran Hillary Clinton’s 2016 battleground-state strategy, has impeccable connections to the Democratic establishment and extensive experience working on major campaigns. His hire is the latest in a steady drumbeat of big names that Buttigieg has brought on, with the campaign telling Axios to expect other personnel announcements in the coming days.

Jess O'Connell, former CEO of the Democratic National Committee who also served as executive director of EMILY’s List and had a senior role in Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, recently announced that she has also joined the campaign as a senior adviser.

Halle did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

Background: Halle served as deputy field director to Barack Obama for his 2008 campaign, and later as general election director for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

The intersectionality of Democrats going back to at least July 2019 is amazing.

So the Rats choices are:

Mini-Mike commie - who is not really running, just spending money in vain to attempt to defeat our President and willing to back any other Rat.

Fake Indian commie

Politburo hardliner commie

Creepy Uncle - who has never gotten more than 3% in previous attempts and is all about personal enrichment at the expense of the country

Homo commie - failed small town mayor whose policies would be right at home in Cuba or Venezuela where they are already been tried and implemented.

The Rat establishment seems to be made it’s decision. Back the homo commie.

This is Hillary undermining Bernie. She can’t be asked to be the nominee unless the convention becomes deadlocked for a candidate on the first vote, so it’s entirely in her interests to undermine anyone who is in the lead.

Yawn. Since there are still enough normal people in America, the entire notion of a fag becoming prez is ridiculous.

It also means ‘the black community’ will be told to vote for a young white man rather than the earlier ‘old white man’...

There’s that name again.

Will the brokered convention result in McAuliffe and Michelle?

Or McAuliffe and Deval Patrick?
