I would do a Schadenfreude Dance if Pocahontas became Treasury Secretary considering all the Wall Street support for Biden. I am always curious why Senators would want a cabinet post. Out system is not a Westminster parliamentary system where holders of cabinet position yield real power.

It’s a big racket. They make money off of running for high office, and getting cabinet posts. Book deals, speaking fees, influence peddling, etc.

A good point: “Something” was given to get all of Joe’s primary opponents to so suddenly abandon their platforms and clear the deck for Joe to walk away without exposure and without public campaigns.

As Hillary demonstrated so very well with her hundreds of millions from foreign governments to her “family charity” - AND as Joe Biden himself demonstrated by selling the Biden Brand Name for his son, brother, and their family “friends”, the patronage of a Cabinet-level position, AND the near-daily press release power of having your name in the papers and on TV by friendly press agents (er, reporters) IS MONEY.

This and cash (book deals are the new scam for that) is how Dem operatives got everyone else out of the race. Remember back, Biden was 3rd and 4th in polling early on so there was a ton of manipulation to get everyone else to get out of the way.

Kamala, we see, was offered VP pick for a one term Biden (why is this NEVER mentioned?) and would likely replace him a year or two in given his declining mental state.

Bernie. Labor Secretary? Another vacation home or $100k Audi?

All of them cashed in and stepped aside for Biden to even get this far.

Suddenly a message arrives to their phones... a link to a news item about the "accidentaL' or "suicide" death of one of Hitlery's or Zero's enemies... and it's "I have decided to suspend my campaign."
