"Just before he announced the first members of his team, the next president was heard singing in his Delaware basement,

" 'Is Biden assembling an administration or a wax museum? John Kerry and Janet Yellen, you’re melting! And it has nothing to do with climate change.
" 'The problem is not just that Biden’s selections show a fondness for old shoes. It’s the policies, stupid.
" 'Robert Gates, who ran the CIA and was later secretary of defense during much of the Obama-Biden administration, famously said of the former vice president, “I think he’s been wrong on nearly every major foreign-policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
" 'In Washington terms, that gives Biden a perfect record, and because nothing succeeds like failure, it’s not surprising he would tap others involved in many of the same policy disasters.
" 'As Sen. Marco Rubio described it, Biden has gathered “polite and orderly caretakers of American decline.”
" 'America First is dead, America Last is back. Is there a good idea in the house?".... . .
