Tad Devine

Devine's work on these campaigns has not been particularly successful, with Dukakis and Kerry losing to Republicans, Sanders not getting the Democratic nomination, and Gore losing to George W. Bush.
In 2006, Devine took a job with Paul Manafort to help Viktor Yanukovych run for president of Ukraine as the Party of Regions candidate.
Devine continued to work for Yanukovych and/or the Party of Regions through 2014, despite seeing Yanukovych's autocratic tendencies by 2012.

Yanukovych's rule was marked by struggles with joblessness, hunger, and despair among Ukrainians, yet he was building a $100 million mansion.
Devine was paid either $10,000 per day or $100,000 per month for his work with Yanukovych.
Devine's next major work was as chief strategist for Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.
Devine's firm, Devine Mulvey Longabaugh, split $10 million in commissions for ad buys with another firm during Sanders' campaign.
Sanders continued working with Devine Mulvey Longabaugh until January 2019, when the firm broke off cooperation citing "creative differences" with Sanders.

Iowa Election Updates
Tad Devine, a Senior Advisor to Bernie Sanders, thinks the Iowa Democratic caucuses were a debacle. The Des Moines Register, a respected newspaper that endorsed Hillary Clinton, agrees with him.
The state party refused to investigate further, but Devine's campaign is doing its own thing. They're asking their 1,600 precinct captains to recount what happened at each site.
It's possible that mistakes were made that night, and Devine's campaign wants to know more. They're also asking the state party to release the popular vote numbers, something they've done in the past.
Devine's cautious approach is a departure from Donald Trump's bombastic style. He's not making any big deal out of the situation, but he's not backing down either.
