(906 posts)I think its a possibility for these reasons.
Hes a conservative type person.
He seems to be able to work and seems to get along with all types of people regardless of race, gender, etc.
Age wise hes not super old but hes not so young he has no life experience either including some political knowledge as he worked with the Clintons he is also a Democrat
He is a Christian ( I think fairly devout)
So for the ones that worry about religion that would help)
Done enough interviews etc could hold his own in debates.
Many times he has had the shocked look
On his face when he is talking about Trump
The Republicans and stuff they have been doing.
(Can find out a lot more at Wikipedia )
I know Im not knowledgeable like many of you here so there could be stuff I dont know. Or am missing.

George made his career by sidestepping just how loony-tunes the Republicans have become. Anyone in his position who hasn't been thumping the drum of Republican evil for the entire time he's been in his position is too obtuse to deserve having power of any sort.
And it he'd thumped that drum, he'd have been removed from his position long ago.

George is a nice guy, but he turned on Bill Clinton while he was President. If I recall correctly, he said his time in the Clinton White House was ok, but sometimes "appalling." While I greatly appreciate his work in helping Bill Clinton get elected, George should be a little more respectful and stop giving the other side ammunition.
Based on the Peter Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle), my thought is that George S has reached his level of competency for the cause.

(2,123 posts)Want to know why? Go on Youtube and look at the
last Democratic primary debate between Obama and
Hillary Clinton in 2008. The little shithead attacked both
of the candidates asking questions that were straight out
the Republican attack play book. He did it for good television,
certainly not good journalism or a meaningful debate. I haven't watched the little
weasel since and would actively work to keep him off the ticket.
