Joe Biden is reportedly considering several Republicans for cabinet positions if he wins the presidential election including Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake.Other options the former Vice President is eyeing include former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who currently heads Quibi, former Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania and former Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, according to a new Politico report.Kasich is the most prominent candidate on the list. The Republican former Congressman, who is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, has endorsed Biden and spoke at August’s Democratic National Convention.

So the Biden camp allows us to see a worthless prospective Cabinet list of retreads and has-been RINOs which no one asked for or cares about, and yet we still have not seen the list of possible SCOTUS nominees. Apparently, we don't deserve to see those. But it won't matter, since Biden will be reading a plagiarized concession speech in two weeks.

These are the very same people that could not get elected again...both Kasich and Flake. They are a disgrace to the republican party and should have their membership revoked...forever.

And President Trump can neutralize that "hail Mary" move by appointing recently converted Democrats to a place in his next administration.

The people he named are Left leaning RINO's, that should've left the party years ago. Maybe Ole Joe can find a job for Mittens too...

Ah, yes. The dims once again tying to create that fake sense of inevitability that Bite Me wins by having the lefty DM publish this story as if it were true. Interesting that the DM didn't throw Pierre Delecto's name into the story somehow. But, Pierre might be damaged goods now after he agreed to cast a SCOTUS confirmation vote for Judge Barrett.

There is no way that the left will go along with this. If, God forbid, Biden wins, they will push to have the most radical cabinet in the history of this country. Democrats will not lose this opportunity to totally transform this country by allowing any kind of moderate or worse, a Republican to serve. They will travel warp speed to socialism/totalitarianism because of the threat to their plan of total transformation that they experienced these last four years. Not only will they move fast, they will seek revenge against President Trump and his supporters. They will brook no resistance and it will get very ugly. We cannot let this happen. God help us to protect and defend the nation against this existential threat to our freedom.

I don't know who he is trying to impress with appointing men who were wearing the R like a wolf wears a sheep coat.
And campaigning with the McCains, both dead and alive! We know that when donors left the Clinton Foundation after her defeat, they moved over to the McCain foundation. Corruption runs deep in both parties.

The definition of "Republican" is not determined by the "R" after a name or even--we've come to learn--the party to which a person attaches to while running for office. Being a Republican is about ideas, thoughts, words and especially actions. Both Kasich and Flake do not pass the smell-test. They'd both fit into a Democrat administration like flies in a pig sty.

Old Joe won't tell us if he will expand ("pack") the Supreme Court or who he might nominate to the Supreme Court, instead he talks about appointing 2 RINOs to something or other. Well that's it, Joe has my vote! :>)

They are so funny! Apparently they don't understand Republicans don't want anything to do with those Two Losers! They can have them! Kasich is a Never Trumper who coudn't beat Trump. Jeff Flake was thrown out of office by Republicans. So, you can have them! I doubt the AOC's in your Party would be too happy about your choice, but us Republicans are just laughing at it!

If you're a Republican or Independent and don't know by now Kasich and Flake are five degrees worse than Quisling and Benedict Arnold, please register as a Democrat and stay away from Oklahoma, especially east Oklahoma. We'll put up with the Walmartians but we don't need any morons.

What this is about is throwing the RINOs a bone. The problem with that is that if they are appointed by Biden, they must follow the leftist Democrat line or they will be gone.

It's hard enough trying to find people who are good at the job and loyal, too. This whole concept of filling your bingo card with people of a certain color, Trump Derangement Syndrome, certain religion, or certain sexual preference (ha!) is a knife in America's back.

The Dems are frantic and desperate. They have many things to hide and/or 'keep hidden', and many to protect so they won't face charges or go to jail. It doesn't appear that their thoughts, goals or ideas have anything to do with us (average, tax-paying, law-abiding American citizens.)

I’ve had my opinions of these people, but their response to an appointment in a Biden cabinet, after everything that is being revealed about him, would leave absolutely no doubt as to their character, and the things they would be willing to do.

Maybe it will work with the 'cream filled center'... But most of us hate jealous, revengeful traitors like Kasich and Flake more than we do the lefties who openly declare their hatred for us..
Reminds me of my Cicero:
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A murderer is less to fear.
The traitor is the plague."

Have you seen Joseph Biden lately, if not why not? Chances are that Biden is ensconced in his basement after he was given the upcoming debate questions by the liberal media network and talking head involved, and is trying to memorize answers that have been formulated for him by his operatives.

Not sure who he thinks will now be swayed to vote for him. Real Democrats won't ever accept a Republican, moderate or otherwise and they are voting for Biden of course. Leftists will recoil in horror and in fact, may be turned off for voting for Biden and cast a vote for a Green Party candidate instead. And Never Trumpers and Rhinos are voting for Biden anyway. I don't get it, other than a real act of desperation by a drowning man grasping at would be lifelines.

He would still be too far left with those two. If your a never Trumper, your left wing, not to mention a liar and a hypocrite. These two would fit perfectly into an administration whose primary objective is to make China a superpower and to make the U.S. a socialist hell hole.
