I&
#39;m not quote-tweeting to dump on this very nice tweeter who is a regular commenter, but as an example to say: It&
#39;s good to have non-controversial picks for the Cabinet. There is no reason to choose Schiff except that he was on TV at the center of an impeachment. /1

There are a lot of partisan Dems saying "Schiff! Yates! Mayor Pete! People I&
#39;ve seen on TV!"
So far, consider it *good* that you don&
#39;t really know Flournoy or Blinken or even Sullivan. Their job is not to be TV presences, it&
#39;s to get a job done with Biden&
#39;s confidence in them. /2
The goal of Biden&
#39;s nominations should not be to pick a fight with the Senate just to piss off people you hate by nominating people *they* hate - *cough* Susan Rice - it should be to assemble a quality team as quickly as possible. It&
#39;s not an ongoing TV show. So far, so good. /3x
