we can see how devestating they can be for a administration. Good if their your mole. Not so good if they are someone elses. I've not seen evidence she's a mole, notwitstanding our party's last nominee deeming her so.

Certainly, she's been criticial of the Democratic Party and certain candidates. I understand she's largely hated by many Democrats for lake of purity on a couple key social issues.

Getting her in the Biden admin is not a mole hill I'd die on, but do I like a contration sprinkled about the admin.

Clearly, I'm in the minority here. I wont bring it up again.

Thanks.

I'm not suggesting something as important as SOS or SOD. Maybe some kind of bureuacratic Assistant Deputy or Assistant Undersecretary to the Deputy Assistant to the Whatever. Unfortunately, the bureacracy is (or was) loaded with hundreds of middle-level, six-figure jobs with narrow portfolios. While you dont many contrarians like her, she'd make a good token somewhere, and I think she has a few good points and ideas.
