      At the risk of incurring just a horrifying backlash, i have a few thoughts on Mayor Pete's "McKinley problem" that I've hesitated on sharing because of fear of the Twitter mob---but, you know what, F the mob.

      The "problem"--if we must call it that-- is both real and, obviously, overstated.  It's real in that we absolutely should know this part of his bio. He's running for president. This is fair game. And I trust his aides know they need to push to disclose this stuff.

      It's also real in that he almost certainly worked on some project that involved "creating efficiencies" -- i.e. laying people off-- on behalf of a corporation. This is what consultancies do. And that's a problem, politically and culturally.

      It's overstated in one major respect though.

      While he made the choice to pursue this path, how responsible is he for the work product. He obviously has some responsibility. But a 27-yr-old doing analytical work for a client is not the same as, say, Mitt Romney's role at Bain. It's just not.

      Replying to @samstein

      "He was just 27" works better as an argument if he's a bit older than 37 years old! I mean at at age 27 Buttigieg had lived 72% of his life and more than 50% of his adult life. He doesn't have a lot of other stuff to balance it.
