Beginning in 2008, the Democrats mostly jettisoned non-lefty white voters while gambling everything on what had been Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition. The election results have been mixed, but the practical politics of it has turned the actual process of appointments into an urban community college farce. In California, black and Latino groups are fighting over the Senate seat, while proposing that Senator Dianne Feinstein, already being unpersoned, resign so that the state can have one black and one Latino senator. (Asian groups are not too happy with this suggestion.) But that's nothing compared to the Biden circus. Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) sent a letter to the Biden transition team on Friday advocating for Connecticut Education Commissioner Miguel Cardona to serve as Education Secretary, Politico reported.
