Good idea. But I lack the ambition.

I suspect that will be the real reason Biden won't win. He doesn't seem to feel a _need_ to win, whereas Trump feels he _has_ to win. Trump is all about winning; hard to tell what, if anything, Biden is about. It looks to me like most all the Dems are playing fantasy politics except for Bernie. I believe Bernie really does care. Unfortunately for him he is seen, correctly, as a misguided enemy of the state. If Bernie's energy and conviction could be directed to the right path then the Dems would have an unbeatable candidate.

If Biden wins, we should wait til he fills his cabinet, then come back to this thread and see if we got a single one or two or three, correct.
