  his opponent's campaign put out a thick packet of oppo research (someone linked on Twitter, I don't know how to find it again) and it was a pdf with page after page after page of questionable tweets and stuff.
  Someone put a lot of time into that. That someone didn't pick up the phone and call NYU.
context: I just think back to when I held a clearance as an entry-level gov contractor and the degree to which I had to be investigated, it absolutely baffles me that candidates for congress are not subjected to the same levels of investigation once they officially declare candidacy. I know OPM is always backlogged, but seriously, we should never be in this mess in the first place. >
  
  Yeah, I'm wondering what's going on.
  Did his opponent do no research at all? >
  
  His opponent is a wealthy establishment Dem, so no one above the level of reddit poster is going to ask how he managed to fuck up so badly.
