Who have you seen tweeting this?
I suspect there are going to be a lot of rumours around in the next couple of months. Bernie Sanders for the Department of Labor is another one I've seen mooted.There's this for a start but I havent seen it in many other places. No idea how reliable it is, never heard of the site before

Lots of wishful thinking on all sides, no doubt.

It would also mean the Republican governor of Vermont would be appointing someone to finish Bernie's term which seems... unwiseFor what it's worth, you can't be in the cabinet while being a senator, which would rule out Romney and Sanders unless they were happy to resign their positions in the Senate.
Has to be from a shortlist of three submitted by the local Democrat party I think, but yeah, gives a fair amount of power to the governor.It would also mean the Republican governor of Vermont would be appointing someone to finish Bernie's term which seems... unwise
Does it matter that he's not actually a Democrat?Has to be from a shortlist of three submitted by the local Democrat party I think, but yeah, gives a fair amount of power to the governor.
Was just about to go back and edit actually as had forgotten that! Yeah, not sure to be honest, who knows.Does it matter that he's not actually a Democrat?
Not according to the last episode of The West Wing.Does it matter that he's not actually a Democrat?
Ah yeah, he can serve in government. I was wondering about him giving up as a senator.Not according to the last episode of The West Wing.
Jimmy Smits and Alan Alda.
POTUS and VP from different parties.
Vinick (Alda) wasn't VP, was he? I thought they gave him Secretary of State or summat?Not according to the last episode of The West Wing.

Don't think it would be to finish his term, but as an interim pending an election.It would also mean the Republican governor of Vermont would be appointing someone to finish Bernie's term which seems... unwise
He'll have refused to do something he shouldn't have been asked to do, but who knows what?
Possibly it’s a long time ago. I thought he took over from Leo who was running as VP.Vinick (Alda) wasn't VP, was he? I thought they gave him Secretary of State or summat?
I just checked because I needed to know and JTG is correct for Vermont that a replacement is named by the governor (currently a Republican), and a special election within 6 months decides the long term replacement. It differs from state to state. More info here: A Warren or Sanders presidency could cost Democrats a Senate seatDon't think it would be to finish his term, but as an interim pending an election.
I checked afterwards; it was Sec. of StatePossibly it’s a long time ago. I thought he took over from Leo who was running as VP.
You know who else is still alive and angling for a top spot in the new administration according to an irrelevant clickbait-seeking provincial newspaper that doesn't exist?
That's right.
The big one.
The conductor.
Henry Kissinger.
what's their record for insider scoops on things going on in the very upper echelons of the Democrat Party? I'm guessing it's not brilliant.Ive seen the Dick Cheney stuff repeated as fact by 'dirtbag left' type people.
