Clinton Reportedly Eyes Biden For Secretary Of State

[Lakhota]

'They are spending a lot of time figuring out the best way to try to persuade him to do it if she wins,' a source tells POLITICO.

Joe Biden is at the top of the internal short list Hillary Clinton’s transition team is preparing for her pick to be secretary of state, a source familiar with the planning tells POLITICO.

This would be the first major Cabinet candidate to go public for a campaign that’s insisted its focus remains on winning the election, and perhaps the most central choice for a potential president who was a secretary of state herself.

Neither Clinton, nor her aides have yet told Biden. According to the source, they’re strategizing about how to make the approach to the vice president, who almost ran against her in the Democratic primaries but has since been campaigning for her at a breakneck pace all over the country in these final months.

"He'd be great, and they are spending a lot of time figuring out the best way to try to persuade him to do it if she wins,” said the source familiar with the transition planning.

The vice president, who chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before joining the administration, is one of the most experienced and respected Democrats on the world stage. He’s also coming to what would be the close of a 44-year career in Washington, first with six terms in the Senate and then two terms as President Barack Obama’s closest adviser — and the keeper of the portfolio on some of the most difficult international issues, including Iraq and Ukraine.

How about parking garage attendant? after 44 years, its time to leave. This is the problem we have with these politicians who refuse to go away. Time for some new blood.

Hope he didn't email the portfolio to Hillary

This is the talk of someone overconfident. Gonna look mighty funny if trump wins. But it does reenforce the theme of more of the same on steroids.

He must really hate those grand kids.

I thought the buzz was a terrifying prospect. Bloomberg. What a freaking nightmare he'd be as Secretary of State.

There are some positions that should never go to noobs.

Why don't you know that?

 

[IsaacNewton]

I don't want all these people that are in government to be recycled every election. This isn't a monarchy and people should serve then go do something else, and that doesn't include any of their faces on the tv or radio talk shows. GO AWAY.

 

[Clementine]

Biden seems like a nice guy but he's goofy as shit. He needs to find a job that doesn't involve a lot of responsibility. Maybe he could be a gardener.

There is something to be said for that but in the case of Biden/ Hillary, he would be her principle advisor. They are too much alike in my opinion. I think she would be better served with an advisor who challenged her. This would lead to better thought out plans and better outcomes.

True. Biden would be a lapdog for Hillary. I don't know if anyone could challenge her and get away with it. She's not known for being easy to work with.
