Three Republican names, all Quislings, are being talked about in Biden circles as potential cabinet members if Biden wins.
They are a current Senator, Mitt Romney, a former Senator, Jeff Flake, and a former governor, John Kasich. John McCain would be on the list, but he’s only available to vote for Democrats.
The slots being bandied about are Defense, Commerce, and Transportation. If one or all three get in, the hard left will go nuts. Especially if it’s defense. You can’t say all three men didn’t do something for Biden and the Democrats, and their worst for the rest of the country.
Thank you Governor Kasich.#StopTheCoup https://t.co/vbl5a7Lhrd

Romney has recently said he won’t serve in a Biden cabinet. But that was because he was offered HHS. Lots of hassles, no fun, cabinet slot. Plus they knew he’d turn it down, as he’d have to implement socialized medicine. The left would have a fit if he went there. But Romney is holding out for a top slot.
Democrats know they are not trusted on national security or business. So they bring over a Vichy Republican or two to cover themselves there and then say, “Oh look, we’re healing.” Uh, no. Traitors don’t get you points, only well deserved derision.
Transportation is a traditional other party kind of lame slot. But it’s weirdly powerful and a bridge to megabucks after you serve. Any one of the three could go there. Of the three, all did slavish but effective work for Biden, except Kasich. He’d get the lame slot, like Transportation. After all, Romney hurt Trump from within. Flake may have helped deliver Arizona, but Kasich? Just a sad sack blowhard who couldn’t deliver Ohio.
What all three did in essence was to provide Biden message cover to pretend he was some type of moderate, not held hostage by the hard left. They all also had a personal animus towards the president.
Romney’s patrician background and the psyches of the other two, who carry class chips on their shoulders, resented a rich president who is not afraid to be brash, rhetorically creative, and exaggerate for effect. That bravado probably cost the president a lot. But it is who he is. It’s part of his appeal and also part of how he became president. You can’t separate this man from his over the top, and yes- sometimes too bridge and tunnel, persona. And that’s the one thing most of all that the three collaborators couldn’t get over, that Trump, regardless of the down side, was always gonna be Trump.
If any one of them take a Biden cabinet slot they will be dragged out regularly liked trained weasels and made to robotically intone that Republicans not lauding Biden are hurting the nation’s effort to “heal.” As an aside, the entire concept of robot weasels? Cool.
Funny, none of these guys have been for national unity for the last four years. But let a Democrat, who is under the thrall of socialists, wave a potential job under their noses and they all sit up on their haunches and smile. The rest of us are not so amused.
