I am growing concerned that our next President

[randr]

will need to know a lot about how our government works in order to put it back together.
This will now become an issue for me in my selective process.

1. The next president will be a person

who will be smart and mature and mentally stable.
That person will bring cabinet secretaries and advisers who will be experienced and competent into his or her administration. They will work hard as a team to repair our nation. I have no worries.

I expect that in the weeks following the inauguration of a new president there will be an address to the nation informing us just how incredibly fucked up things are and Americans will need some patience.

3. Reassuring

And I think you are right.

[Volaris]

14. Agreed. And then 4 years later, the republicans in this nation

Will elect an outright psychopath, because owning the libs is soooo much more important than properly running a first world nation state for more than 10 years at a time.

smdh.

2. I'm not sure it can be put back together. In which case, a different kind of president might

be needed. It's an important question and distinction.

4. Biden will have heavyweights from both Obama and Clinton presidencies

to get started.

[PatSeg]

6. Good point

And Biden's foreign policy experience will be extremely valuable as we try to restore our diplomatic ties around the world. Hopefully, we'll still have a State Department by the time Trump leaves the White House.

[oasis]

11. Hillary/John Kerry may called upon to help with the restoration

of the State Dept..

[PatSeg]

15. Makes you appreciate how many

competent professionals we had protecting us for so many years. I hope the younger generations realize that as much as we need new, fresh perspectives, we shouldn't easily dismiss years of essential experience, especially when it comes to diplomacy.

[oasis]

16. Yup. "There is no substitute for experience". nt

9. Ah, oasis.. you're

sporting a Biden pic now!.

Yes he will.. and now he's hired Symone Sanders, too. I remember her as a realist!

Biden hires strategist Symone Sanders, adds diversity to bid

[oasis]

10. Symone Sanders is well informed and assertive. She is the only

one on Bernie's 2016 team that I had any respect for. She's a hard hitting, solid Democrat.

About my choosing Joe. Not hard for me to do, he's our best chance to beat Trump. I really like many of the others in the running, Amy K., Inslee, E. Warren, Castro, Kamala H., Swalwell. Joe will likely choose on of our women candidates for his VP, so we'll have a very strong ticket.

Thanks in advance, Cha for all the work you're gonna do to help our ticket win?

[Cha]

12. lol

in advance.

Mahalo for all you do, oasis!

I really like most of our candidates, too.. We'll see how this all pans out.. If Biden is our candidate.. who he will choose. It really has to be a woman, though.. it's time.. someone who can step right into the Office of the presidency if necessary!

[Jarqui]

5. Hopefully, whoever wins, the party will rally around and help

Get the ex-presidents to weigh in

We've got 20 pretty good candidates and only one job to fill. A number of those candidates could help.

The big thing is the Dems need to take the Senate - nothing will help more

[Turbineguy]

7. Luckily the Democratic Party

has a plethora of highly qualified candidates.

What we need now is a cadre of surgeons as qualified as Trump to operate on Trump supporters.

[at140]

8. Agree and sen Warren is best qualified

For the job.

[BannonsLiver]

13. Yep. There's not going to be any time for on the job training.
