    Jeet Heer Retweeted POLITICO

    Obama's decision to appoint Republican James Comey as FBI director ended up helping to elect Trump and giving the GOP a 6-3 majority in Supreme Court. So obviously Biden wants to follow in the same path.https://twitter.com/politico/status/1318499722705965059 …

    Joe Biden’s transition team is vetting a handful of Republicans for potential Cabinet positions — despite doubts it will win him new support from the right and the risk it will enrage the left https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/20/biden-transition-republican-cabinet-429972 …

        Not just Comey but nearly every Republican nominee and holdover Obama had was a disaster. Rod Rosenstein, Robert Gates, etc. But sure, let's keep doing this.https://twitter.com/politico/status/1318499722705965059 …

        It seems like really the historical precedent should be "house cleaning" not continuity and not "team of rivals"

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        There are good arguments against it, but the problem with Comey wasn't partisanship, it was his own personality, a sanctimoniousness that caused him to disregard longstanding departmental policy and advice that he was making a serious mistake injecting himself into the election.

        Do republicans ever put democrats in top level positions? Democrats should govern like they have the majority of the public support

        If even the Trump years hasn't made Dems understand how to effectively wield political power, then nothing will. A lost cause.

        Kasich is a unifying figure- Both the GOP & Dems dislike him. Clean house.

        He should be going in the Progressive direction. Just unbelievable. Better buckle up for 2024 because someone even more hideous than Trump WILL be elected. Obviously Biden's going to blow the last chance we have to get things right.

        He's going to have more Republicans in his administration than progressives, and by 2022 we'll be deep into austerity, then the Dems will be gobsmacked when they get routed by the GOP again in November.

        I was waffling between Biden and Green Party and this very literally made that decision easy
