I can't take it! When does Hillary pick her cabinet and economic advisers?!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

I'm so getting ready for Hillary.

On the one hand, Hillary is being punished by me for the sins of Bill and Obama. On the other hand, Hillary is embracing Clintonian economics.

But I keep reading here at DU, Hillary is her own person and Bill isn't going to be the President. But I need proof!

Come on, Hillary! Bring the middle class back to the Democratic Party!!

1. After November 8th.

2. "Hillary is her own person and Bill isn't going to be the President. But I need proof! "

That is really a strange comment. I am pretty sure you stand alone on this one.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

7. Wanting proof? Yeah, I was way ahead of the curve with Obama. I understand why you'd say that.

[NCTraveler]

8. I'm extremely happy you get to proclaim you were ahead of the curve.

It's one of the reasons I love DU. So many members are. Some are so far ahead of the curve they proclaim it themselves. It is a great board with great people.

10. I love DU because I learn a lot from people who know a lot more about certain things than I do. Them

*then there are the rest of you. No original thinkers among you. No threads, just tens of thousands of comments with little content and that contribute nothing.

The point of this thread eludes you, but I expect nothing of you since I recognize your username. I really don't recognize many here. The brilliant posters and a handful of you annoying Hillary supporters (bean, JV, a couple others). You should read my comments. You'll learn a lot from me.

3. Yeah, it'll be good to know how quick she'll sell us all out...n/t

4. Brilliant Plan!

18 U.S. Code § 599 - Promise of appointment by candidate

Whoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

6. In most cases, not until after the November election.

She may make some picks beforehand, but typically a Presidential candidate does not select an entire cabinet before November. Once elected, then it's time to choose a cabinet and promote them to the newly-elected Senators and remaining ones. It's not always easy to get commitments from cabinet-level people until you are in a position to actually offer them.

[Orsino]

9. Nothing's going to be announced until after the convention.

Offering jobs any earlier could be construed as buying support, which is illegal.

After we get a nominee we may begin to hear serious rumblings, but after the election things will officially begin taking shape.

12. She's already chosen Bill...

to be in charge of "revitalizing the economy."

Let's see... Rachel Maddow, press secretary

Debbie Schultz... chief of staff

Chelsea... graduates to chairwoman of collecting donations for the Clinton Foundation whilst defending it against allegations

Hillary will still pick out the china and flowers.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

13. Now that's a job Rachel has months of experience

And I know she loves Bill's economy, but she's "considering" and "open to" more progressive ideas. That's, like, worth something. By November, she may have formulated a position.

That's why the only way to satisfy me is to see who she surrounds herself with.
