[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Susan Rice is going to be Sec State.  And if McConnell won't review her, then Biden can make her acting Sec State and just leave her there.  If McConnell complains then Biden can point out that Trump set the precedent with Chad Wolf, Ken Cuccinelli and 15 other appointment positions that the Senate never approved and McConnell didn't complain about it then, so clearly McConnell approved of the procedure and established the precedent.

There is no one that will argue with her credentials.  She would be one of the most experienced Secretaries of State to ever step into the position.  She could hit the ground running and would be able to immediately start righting the horrible degeneration of the US foreign policy reputation that Trump and his rotating clown car of Sec States caused over the last 3.5 years.[/quote]

She’s awful though. Poor judgement and poor temperament. Maybe Samantha Powers  would be better [/quote]

Agree on Susan Rice. And while I get the urge to do the bolded, I think that's a bad place for Biden to operate from. If Biden has to do that at some point, do it with a pick that would sail through in normal times. Susan Rice, neck deep in the Benghazi response, and who has been described as "legendarily abrasive," is not that pick. She might be a good pick for Chief of Staff or as an adviser of some type.

Samantha Power comes across as kind of a loon. Too far left, and also an Obama re-tread.[/quote]
