Biden eyes GOP candidates for Cabinet slots
Politico ^ | October 20, 2020 | Megan Cassells and Alice Miranda Ollstein

Joe Biden’s transition team is vetting a handful of Republicans for potential Cabinet positions — despite doubts it will win him new support from the right and the risk it will enrage the left.

Reaching across the aisle to pick senior members of his administration could shore up Biden's credentials as a unity candidate, a message he's made a cornerstone of his campaign. Past presidents including George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have all done the same. But that tradition died with President Donald Trump, and liberal Democrats are already warning that a Republican pick, even a moderate one, could sow distrust within the party before Biden even takes office.

I’ve noticed a few articles in the last couple days that seem to imply that the Democrats are so confident they will win the Presidency that they are making plans for beyond that.

It feels to me like more attempts to further their narrative that they are ‘way ahead’ in the polls and discourage Republicans from voting.

Dear Lord,
Please make this thread moot two weeks from tonight when Sleepy/Slow/Crooked Joe is compelled to deliver his concession speech—and then permanently reside in his basement!!

Let me see — Mitt Romney, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Jeff Flake are on his cabinet list...

Bill Kristol and George Will are slated to be his speech writers?

Any so-called Republican that is willing to work in a Biden Administration should be suspected as having something to hide, making a position in the Administration very advantageous.

Please take Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Sasse, Cornyn, and I’m sure we could come up with a few more RINOS for you.

The hyper partisan Politico just trying to boost Biden. See, Biden is non-partisan and willing to work with Republicans while bad orangeman will/has not worked with damocrats. Nothing new here, same-o, same-o from the corrupt left.

Sure, Trump only appointed people who were 100% yes men. People like John Kelly, James Mattis, H.R. McMaster, Reince Priebus, John Bolton, etc etc etc. You know, guys who sabotaged and leaked and undermined Trump.

He’s trying to win over independent voters. Maybe their internal polling shows weakness.

Joe, wouldn’t spend too much time picking out your cabinet nor the drapes. Not going to need either.

Might want to get out of your jammies and go out and campaign a little.
