Bidens Cabinet Choices

[xtsho]

My predictions so far. I think Biden will include some of the decent Republicans in his cabinet.

Secretary of State - Susan Rice

Secretary of Defense - Admiral William H. McRaven

That's just the start of my list. Lets see how it plays out. I would love to see others predictions.

Also

I'd like to see Republicans like Chuck Hagel, Charlie Dent, and Jeff Flake included in some role going forward. There is nothing wrong with decent moderate Republicans. They're as patriotic and American as any other American. In fact Mitt Romney would be a great choice for Ambassador to the UN. Plus that would open up a Senate seat that the Democrats could have a shot at taking. Pilfer as many Republican Senators as they can and then try and flip those seats. If they accept and resign from their Senate seat you can always fire them later. There are 21 Republican Senate seats up for reelection in 2022. Marco Rubio is likely the easiest Democratic pickoff in 2022 if he gets some role. Transportation Secretary or some other lower level cabinet post. But there are other's.

Play things right and the Senate goes Democratic majority. Then they can stack the Supreme Court and get all their nominees through.

Many people think this is over but it's actually just starting. How Biden forms his government is going to be instrumental in future Democratic gains across the country. Also, the Democrats need to focus on retaking State Governments across the country which they can do if they get busy starting today. It's going to be a battle but a battle that can be won. The long entrenched Republican strongholds are prime to start falling like domino's.

I believe Bernie Sanders is looking for Secretary of Labor and if so, he deserves what he wishes.

I also wonder if Biden will actually finish his term. Kamala could become President and she could nominate Obama as Vice President. Which the Senate would have to confirm. But then that would bring up a Constitutional issue if Kamala was no longer able serve and through succession Obama would then become President for the third time but not by election. The Constitution only says that you can only serve 2 terms but that's from winning as a candidate. Unless I'm missing something there is nothing in the Constitution to address a scenario such as this.

But I'm a little loopy from the Scotch so I'm just happy and rambling.

Good add. Perfect position from him. And there is no worry about replacing his Senate seat in Vermont with a Democrat. Plus his supporters deserve something for jumping in with Biden since much of his policies differ from them. But thanks for their votes.

United We Stand.

i'm not going to be so full of myself to say that 'it's his turn' but he deserves a lot of gratitude; much more than he gets in return.

how about we put roger stone in prison? that little smirk of his needs some time behind bars to re-evaluate. he's got to be guilty of more crimes, no??

 

[xtsho]

bob mueller too

Bob Mueller wants nothing to do with being involved in another administration and I don't blame him.

Nancy Pelosi gets anything she wants.

She stays in the House where she does what she does best. Love her or hate her but she gets her troops to win the battle. Probably one of the most effective Speakers of the House in History. Newt Gingrich was a a force as well. You might not like him but he did his job and did it well just like Nancy. The biggest mistake would be for the Democrats to push for a Speaker that's too far left. Moderate politics work for both Democrats and Republicans. trump was too extreme which is why he was one of only three incumbent Presidents to loose a second term in the last century. Obama won a second term only because he moved to the middle where he needed to be to get the independent vote.

Everyone talks Democrat and Republican. The people that actually decide elections are Independents like myself and millions of others. Everyone else has already decided to just pull the trigger for the D or R. I will admit that I had decided to vote against trump back when he won in 2016 as did most Independents. But the guy was just so vile. The only reason he even won was because people hated Clinton more than trump. Unfortunately his one term has given those that promote his rhetoric some form of legitimacy in their minds. It's going to take some time to put that ignorance back under rocks all across the country.

But we'll get it done.

So to all those across the world that have been saying "What the fuck is going on over there?". I say, "We have it under control". We've stopped the infection and are currently undergoing treatment. The prognosis is good and we expect a full recovery.

Moderates would go a long way to improving the rift IMO.
