There are only so many primetime slots.

He knew - or should have known - that the schedule was going to change and new speakers would be added as slots opened up (which usually happens once the VP selection moves into the VP speaker slot). His public whining about it really was unbecoming.

Although he never was and never will be a viable presidential candidate, he has a very smart brain and he can make some valuable contributions in the next administration.
For instance, I'd love to see Biden launch a full out, undeclared secret cyber war against Russia using the brain power if nerds like Yang and the gang.
Russia needs to pay for their cyber crimes against our country.

attracted to the Democratic Party. My adult sons liked him--smart guy, forward-thinking ideas, less invested in identity politics.

why he filed suit to force a New York primary, endangering the health and lives of NY Democrats during a pandemic.
