Hillary Clinton

whatsoever in her Cabinet. Cabinet members must be loyal to the President. Bernie's speech last night and his actions in recent months show that his loyalty is to himself only.

If Bernie could not even bring himself to mention Hillary's name in the first moments of his speech last night - when it was truly an historic moment - and still never even acknowledged what an historic event it was because he sees events through his own prism only, then he simply does not have either the gravitas or the broad competence to be a Cabinet Secretary. That he also allowed his supporters to boo at mention of her name without comment does not bode well for ANY partnership whatsoever with Clinton.

I saw one poster in another thread mention Bernie for Sec'y of the Treasury, apparently because of his abilities in fiscal policy. My reaction although I didn't post it: Those must be hidden abilities.

It would an interesting post indeed for an individual whose campaign has consistently been subject to FEC violations and still is, whose campaign has spent tons more money than Hillary's to accomplish much less, who cannot be troubled to make his tax returns public as he has repeatedly stated he would, and who apparently helped ease at his wife's behest the USD 10 million loan to Burlington College that ultimately left that institution bankrupt. And that's just for starters ....

Sorry if I sound bitter when I should not at this moment. But I am somewhat, especially with Bernie's tone and actions since the first shenanigans in NV that attempted to overturn the Feb caucus results. Bernie has chosen to make his own bed and must lie in it. He will have to make his own very sincere overtures to Hillary to be considered for anything beyond his position in the Senate. It is not for Hillary to ease his Senate re-entry among Dems, appoint him to a Cabinet position or do anything else positive for him - as women have all too often done for men for centuries.

Hillary has more class and patience than I, however, so she will likely do at least one of those things. But I sincerely doubt that it will entail a Cabinet appointment for Bernie. As retired senior management myself, based on his own words and actions, I would not assess him as a good manager at all.
