Last chance... for just a taste, I suppose.

Bernie so wants to be near the White House.
Last chance... for just a taste, I suppose.

You know in past presidential elections, there's always speculation among pundits and "insiders" as to which individuals are being considered. And when those individuals are questioned, they're always humble. They express honor at the hint of being considered for a cabinet position... but then they always defer to President-Elect who's the one that makes that decision. Sometimes the rumored candidate will come right out and say that they think it's inappropriate to even speculate.

In my many (many) years, I have NEVER heard of any person actively LOBBYING for a cabinet position... and doing it in such a PUBLIC way. In my opinion it's a bit unseemly and unfitting. It's just not very dignified.

I would imagine that such things would be done privately and in-person... face to face, or by phone. Or through trusted and direct "back-channels" that are out of the public eye. The fact that this lobbying has been so public and so aggressive suggests to me that Biden has not opened-up any communication channels with Sanders... or maybe Biden is just politely ignoring him. Who knows?

It could be any one, any number, or none of those things. Time will tell. But my best guess is that things don't look good for Sanders being chosen to be on Biden's cabinet.

Joe is smart. Joe Biden is not going to choose him.

Joe knows how important it is to have a majority in the Senate.

Joe also knows that Bernie's agenda is NOT the Biden agenda. Joe needs cabinet members who will support and promote the things that the Biden Administration will focus on... rather than using a cabinet position as a platform to do-one's-own-thing in opposition to Biden.

Additionally (according to Jane Sanders) they have a frosty relationship with Biden. Things like that do not make for a good working relationship, nor an amicable social relationship. It's something that does not promote trust, bonding, honest and open discussion and exchange of ideas, etc. Joe probably wants cabinet members who respect him and who support his agenda and vision and plans.

My son and his husband describe Lindsey in many amusing ways...

... things that I couldn't get away with repeating here. I guess by virtue, they're "allowed" (or something). In any case, they often impersonate him with a sticky-sweet "Gone With the Wind" accent with flourishes and interjections that make it sound like it's fresh off the plantation and right off the movie-screen.

There's something satisfying about having an authoritative and recognized precise moment of victory...

There's something satisfying about having an authoritative and recognized precise moment of victory… especially when millions are eager to celebrate their joy and relief with each other.

I suppose that for some emotionaless "analytical types" they can be perfectly happy with "knowing what will eventually happen" and take comfort with the knowledge of how everything will assuredly play out in the end.

But others of us will get a great deal of satisfaction and delight from being able to hear our party's nominee CLAIM VICTORY for himself, and for OUR party, and for our nation and the world.

It will be a defining STARTING POINT where we can begin celebrating with others. It will be a moment to look back on and talk about. It's like the moment between midnight and the new year! (Compared to a group of disinterested people coming to the eventual conclusion over the course of a week that the new year had indeed happened a week previously.)

LET'S CELEBRATE!!! LET'S BREATHE A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF!!

People who encourage such things are trying to dilute the Democratic Party, and in states where such things are taken into account, this could also affect how districts are redrawn which would ALSO dilute or weaken the influence of the Democratic party.

All I'm saying is that ANYTHING that serves to weaken or divide or dilute the strength the DEMOCRATIC PARTY is something that ONLY BENEFITS the Republicans and Russia.

When it comes to national elections, we are a two party system. Until that changes, anything that anyone does to undermine the Democrats only serves to help the Republicans.
