[And Bernie’s recent statements certainly sound bought. Or coerced.]
The thing about Bernie is that he’s the socialist Romney. A Mr. Nice Guy, don’t want to look like a meanie type of pol. When your opponent is Biden, who lied for decades about his wife’s death being caused by a drunk driver rather than her driving into an intersection without looking, you are faced with a choice. Do you want to be President, or are you going to just sit there and take your scumbag opponent’s crap? For decades, Bernie’s had a fairly easy gig as a Congressman, then Senator. This is his moment of truth - his last chance at glory before he kicks the bucket. I’m betting he’s gonna bare the tyrannosaurus rex within. Because as Henry of Navarre once said, Paris is worth a Mass. In Bernie’s case, the presidency is worth getting his hands dirty.
From the lack of vigor of Bernie’s campaigning, I think his wife Jane wants a beach house badly.
Joe is an expert at Quid Pro Quo.
Liz is thinking about whether she wants to lead an empowered consumer protection agency.
I’m sure Mayor Pete would prefer a cabinet post over being Mayor.
Joe Biden would be glad to stand behind Amy as she takes up a cabinet post.
And who might be named Secretary of Defense?
