| xp1337 04/18/20 10:55:43 AM #342: | I'd be annoyed if Biden appointed Republicans to his cabinet but let's not pretend this is some Biden-specific thing. Obama appointed Republicans to his cabinet. It's the kind of thing you used to see where there'd be like or two people from the other party appointed like that for ~bipartisanship~ or sometimes, more cynically, to lure someone out of a seat that would likely see it flip to their party if the appointee vacated it for the cabinet. (Think all the floating of Manchin to Trump's cabinet early on. That WV seat would go red by like 40 points if he took a cabinet post. So you could think of it as flipping a Senate seat.) I'd prefer he not pick any Republican, but I wouldn't be shocked if there one or two in the end. It used to be common practice pre-Trump. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
