    Obviously there are Bernie-adjacent people who have long-standing feuds with Tanden. But if she's not confirmed, the Bernie faction won't be the reason (Bernie will almost certainly support). The real factor will be GOP opposition to Tanden's outspoken anti-Trump activism.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1333655524425031687 …

    Spoiler Alert: The whole Neera thing is about the character she plays on Twitter and her spats with various Bernie-adjacent online luminaries. Next to nothing abt policy.

        The paradox is that Biden, by running a campaign based on theme of national healing, has given GOP a pretext to veto (hypocritically to be sure) any vocal critics of Trump era GOP. So what makes Tanden an appealing candidate (she'll be loyal to Biden) will be used against her.

        The sweet spot for Biden would be nominees who are in fact compliant and even partisan but don't have reputation for being so.

        We can just have an acting OMB head. Or a “special advisor”. Fck the Senate - Trump showed that their confirmations aren’t needed.

        But the focus on Twitter feuds just plays into the hand of her allies. They don’t want to discuss Tanden outing a harassment victim, for example, because they can’t (and don’t want to) defend her from it.

        I did not anticipate you being very pro Tanden. She virtually represent the DC swamp.

        Of course it won’t. They are two totally separate issues. I would be stunned if Bernie or really any other Democrats opposed her.

        Of course if Tanden does go down, I'm sure there will be plenty of people blaming Sanders because, after all, today is Tuesday.
