(3,332 posts)But I think his style is too deliberative. I think a younger person like Buttigieg who's really quick on his toes would be better.

(26,044 posts)...but I'm sure the incoming (PLEASE!!!) administration wouldn't want to give the right ammunition about "naming a sexual predator" (NOTE: I don't think Al even remotely qualifies as one, but that's the way it will be used) when there are lots of other potential choices without anything in their past that could be used against them.

(9,998 posts)Can't help but think that he's feeling exactly like Al Gore was in 2000. IMO, he will not hold public office again.

(11,451 posts)Really shook his confidence. Makes me angry and sad he was such a great senator.

(9,998 posts)And our side helped them do it. Nice.

(11,451 posts)For a few years that meetings were very loud and opinionated to the point of arguing, and had hard time agreeing with each other.
I think sometimes people on the left with all the various groups and beliefs make it challenging.

(9,998 posts)Thank God it didn't stick or play well. Unlike with Al, our side mostly stood behind Joe.

(1,846 posts)Press secretary doesn't seem large enough for his talents.

(42,302 posts)How about the many women who have worked on the Biden campaign as spokespersons, communications persons, etc.
Symone Sanders, perhaps? People who have actually put in the time and have the experience to do the job?

(33,310 posts)And he's too laconic/taciturn. His humor is too ironic.
Remember, a GOP Senate needs to approve Cabinet appointees. Franken would create a shitshow. He's not in.
