    The guy was a total cypher with no discernible policy positions that were actually ‘his own’. He did his job at preventing us from getting Bernie elected, and got compensated accordingly.

      Yeah unfortunately I totally agree. He was really careful not to take any actual positions. He’s articulate, and obviously very intelligent, with a somewhat unique identity. But that’s pretty much it. The first time I saw him speak, I remember being really impressed with his overall demeanor and the fact that he’s comfortable talking about complex topics, but I went back and rewatched it shortly after and realized he didn’t actually say anything at all, it just seemed like he did. He’s a master talker, but very little substance.
