(31,781 posts)87. I'm with you
of the OP aside - Who cares.
We have a Democratic President.
Democratic Senate.
He's putting together a new cabinet that includes two people who see Iraq and Afghanistan as the stupidest things ever.

We've got work to do now as progressives.

I don't think he'd want to be VP AGAIN. Plus, the ticket would need young blood...
