He might. Deep State or no, it is pretty hard to resist the collective weight of DC's lust for war.

Bernie is not independent enough from certain forces in DC to withstand the lust for war, I don't think. Nor is his own FP mature enough.

Could very well be. Key would be his SOS choice. Plus any IDGAF he carries with him due to his age.

Who would be a plausible SOS? Honestly, the bench for non-bellicose leadership is thin.

Would probably have to dive into pool of ambassadors / civil service State staff instead of promoting elected officials.

I tend to doubt that Bernie would just round up the usual suspects. would want someone to keep us out of war so he could focus domestic

Marcy, apart from your assessment of his ability to resist/contain War, Inc., do you agree liberals hate him in part bc fear he might?

I think it was a generalized unwillingness to just pursue the presumed "smart" policy on all things, but obv especially finance related.
