I am more interested in Cabinet positions other than VP... [View all]

The VP must be ready to take over the Presidency at a moments notice but other than that, it is a job about as useful as a bucket of warm piss.

I am more interested in who will be the next Atty General? Who will restore the laws that have been shredded under Trump and Barr?

Who will be the next Secretary of the Treasury? Who will over-see the actions of Wall Street and the stock manipulations now taking place?

Who will be the next Secretary of State? Who can restore the relationships that have protected our people for the last 75 years and that have been decimated by Trump and the Republixans?

The VP choice is important but there are other choices that may be more important and should merit equal attention, in my opinion.
