My Biden Dream Team

[progressive nobody]

First--Sorry if I offend anyone and I'm sure I will get rake over the coals for my views.

2nd after 2016 I am not going to Jinx anything so I am saying IF Biden Wins


Susan Rice as VP and if Biden is thinking the way I am her primary job would be to help heal our allies relationship and let the world know Biden and she work Hand and Hand. I am probably going to be way off base with this so I also hope that she finds her way as Sec of State.

Kamala Harris will probably be VP Not that I am trying to disrespect her but I think Sec of State would be an awesome place for her and would give her a boost for future President.

Tammy Duckworth- Who else but a Veteran to run Veteran Affairs.

Andrew Como -FEMA. The way he handle Covid in New York bet job interview in my eyes.

Deb Haaland Sec of the Interior

Elizabeth Warren Sec of Treasury or Sec of Labor

Val Demings Sec of Homeland Security

Sally Yates A.G. if Kamala Harris is picked for V.P.

I know there are a lot more positions but that is my starting point.

You may now and tell me what an idiot I am.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Biden doesn't need Susan Rice as VP for her foreign policy creds

because he already has those himself. She's not a politician and has never run for office; she'd be better as SoS. Harris is better at politics and would be an excellent attack dog as running mate.

[progressive nobody]

3. I can see that.

[LakeArenal]

4. Exactly why I would not want Harris as V.P.

I am tired of attack.....Prosecutorial style is not me.

I think AG would be great for her tho.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. The traditional role of the running mate - though not the VP *after* elected -

is as the campaign attack dog. She would do well in that role, especially as a useful foil to Biden's nice-guy image. Every campaign needs one.

24. She turned down that position in 2014

2. Joe hinted of great things for Beto and Pete

I know it’s dumb but I would love Beto to be Education Secretary.

And not so oddly, I think, Pete as Ambassador to the UN.

[progressive nobody]

5. I can see Beto

And I am not trying to be rude. I would like to see Pete in the Senate a year or so. I was also thinking Commerce for Pete.

[LakeArenal]

10. Odd, as I thought Beto a stretch.

I can’t quite see Pete staying as a senator. Just as I didn’t see Barack staying a Senator very long.

But how blessed we are with choices.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Pete would have a tough time in a statewide senate election in Indiana.

An awful lot of that state is very conservative.

[bottomofthehill]

21. Indiana is not a good state for Mayor Pete to get elected in.

I hope he runs and I hope he wins but he is from Indiana, a state not particularly friendly to progressives.

[Doodley]

6. Susan Rice checks every box as VP.

[Trumpocalypse]

15. Does she help flip a swing state?

Does she attract more progressive voters to the ticket?

Because those are the boxes that matter. Anything else is irrelevant.

7. I was curious about the last President who had been Secretary of state. James Buchanan.

1857 to 1861.

[progressive nobody]

8. Taught me something

[Tech]

12. Just thought it interesting. I learn so much on DU. Spend a lot of time googling based on

what I read here. I will admit to being a fan of Sen Harris, but I am impressed with the entire list. I would like a decision to be made asap.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Until now, he was considered to be the worst president in US history.

I'm sure his ghost is celebrating being knocked off the top of the Worst President list.

13. .

[Wanderlust988]

11. No sitting senators for cabinet positions!!

We don't need a bunch of special elections that could go haywire after we re-take the Senate. There's plenty of talented people that can serve in the cabinet. I don't trust special elections. Our people don't show up and bad things just seem to happen us in special elections. No, no, and no.

[Fiendish Thingy]

17. Not a bad list, some other ideas:

For AG: Neal Katyal or Preet Bahara (one for AG, and the other as Independent Counsel prosecuting the crimes of the Trump administration)

Col. Vindman as NSC advisor

DHS and ICE should be dissolved, CBP should Thoroughly sanitized.

Jay Inslee for EPA

Katy Tur for press secretary

Stacy Abrams for chief of staff

[msongs]

18. ditch the patriot act and eliminate homeland security nt

[calguy]

19. I kinda like Prete Brahara for AG

Hope I spelled his name right.

[sheshe2]

20. Please!

I beg of you stop trying to drain the senate of Democratic women, Harris, Duckworth and Warren. We can lose one to the VP slot however two more...NO! We need the Senate more than ever right now. WE NEED THE SENATE! Mitch and ilk must go down in flames or this country will.

[Initech]

22. I want Bernie Sanders as Senate Majority Leader!

[Trumpocalypse]

23. He would have to join the Democratic Party first

Then Schumer, Durbin and many other Democratic Senators would have to retire.

[Thunderbeast]

25. Secretary of Commerce: Andrew Yang

He understands the 21st Century economy.

[Patterson]

26. Inslee at EPA is great. What about someone at Education?

[onetexan]

27. Preet Bharara for AG, Mayor Pete for Chief of staff, Amy for Interior Sec, Beto for Energy Sec

oh and Michelle Kwan for UN ambassador
had to squeeze in a plug for MK. She's working on Biden's campaign
