Does he want to herd cats? IS he a strategic negotiator? I dunno. Does he even want to job.

The job requires strategic and creative interaction. I have thought Chris van Hollen has that adaptability. He thinks outside the box, but is measured and effective. He is a great communicator.

Schumer is not good at communicating in these unprecedented times.

AOC is a firebrand. That is her lane. She is whip smart and a great communicator. That does not mean she has the ability to herd cats. That does not mean she is a strategic negotiator. She has a lane. She should stay where she is effective.
