I struggle to think of any question to which Romney might be an answer.

Unless it something like, “What worthless human being ties their dog to the roof of their car?”

If you mean joining the Cabinet in some capacity, hell no.

After what we saw with the impeachment vote, I wouldn't be surprised if we got more votes than just Mittens. Hopefully, now-minority leader McConnell's days of obstruction are waning.

"Controversial" will get a thumbs down from Willard, and Fox will decide who is controversial and who is not. "Competent and low key" is probably not enough to get him to deny Biden his picks.

I hate that Rupert Murdoch has even the smallest say in who will block Biden's cabinet picks and who won't, but that seems to be what we are dealing with.

And he has come out as no against Tanden for the OMB appointment. Not sure how she gets confirmed now.
