He is totally brilliant. That is the most interesting thing I've read about politics in a while.

Also, makes me think that he was happy to leave that job because he didn't like what he was doing. This in particular:

Nothing that I tell people — or that my team [at Civis] told people — is actually that smart. You know, we’d do all this math, and some of it’s pretty cool, but at a high level, what we’re saying is: “You should put your money in cheap media markets in close states close to the election, and you should talk about popular issues, and not talk about unpopular issues.” And we’d use machine learning to operationalize that at scale.
