OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT ELECT:
Liberals Worried as Sheryl Sandberg Eyed for Treasury Secretary (Daniel J. Solomon, October 24, 2016, Forward)
Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook chief operating officer and women's empowerment advocate, could be leaning in too far for some in the Democratic Party's liberal base, according to a report in Politico.Rumored to be a top pick for Treasury Secretary in a potential Clinton administration, she is turning heads among many lefties who see her as too corporate and not committed enough to progressive economic ideas."She's a proxy for this growing problem that is the hegemony of five to 10 major Silicon Valley platforms," David Segal, the head of the liberal group Demand Progress, told Politico.
In order to have half her cabinet be female, Hillary is going to have to pick executives from major corporations and governors, meaning that they're going to be at least crypto-Republican. No one would let a Progressive run a serious company or state.
