Hillary's cabinet

[daveosupremo]

What would it look like?

[CLARENCE 2015!]

First Gentleman clarence

Biden could go to State if he is important to Clinton in 2016 (Fundraiser, major Endorser, etc), though if not, Kerry could stay, or if he retires, Susan Rice could pop up.

I disagree, since Hillary has a network of allies left over from Bill's term who are more loyal to her and do not have further ambitions. Look for somebody like Richard Holbrooke (obviously not him, as he died a few years back).

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Vice President: Mrs. Bill Clinton

State: Hillary Rodham Clinton
Treasury: Hillary R. Clinton
Defense: Hillary Clinton
Justice: Hilldog
Interior: Hilldawg
Agriculture: HRC
Commerce: H. R. Clinton
Labor: H. Rodham Clinton
HHS: Hillary Rodham
HUD: Hillary Diane Rodham
Transportation: Hillary D. Rodham
Energy: H. D. Rodham
Education: H. Diane Rodham
Veterans: HR
Homeland HDR

This way if she dies in office, she gets to keep serving.

Looking at it this way, Bill would get something, me thinks...

[BaconBacon96]

Secretary of State: Samantha Power
Secretary of Defence: Wesley Clark
Secretary of Treasury: Erskine Bowles
Attorney General: Andrew Cuomo

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Secretary of State: Samantha Power
Secretary of Defence: Wesley Clark
Secretary of Treasury: Erskine Bowles
Attorney General: Andrew Cuomo

Powers ain't happening after what she said about Hillary in '08, but Bowles and Clark seem likely. I don't think Coumo would resign as Governor to be AG. The cabinet will likely have only a few former elected officials.

I dunno, Reich seems to be a good selection for Treasury, and if not, Labour. Though Deval Patrick could be in the running for AG.

[Mister Mets]

I don't think anyone believes Hillary Clinton to be less rewarding of loyalty than Bill Clinton.

Bill has often endorsed those who supported Hillary over Obama in the '08 primary. He also gave top posts to prominent Democrats who chose not to run in 1992: VP for Al Gore, Secretary of Treasury for Lloyd Bentsen, Supreme Court to Cuomo (who declined), Supreme Court to George Mitchell (also decline) and Ambassador of Japan to Tom Foley.

So I'd expect spots to prominent Clinton supporters, except for those serving in Governor's mansions or expected to serve as Governor (McAuliffe, Anthony G Brown of Maryland, Newsom).

I'd expect some female Senators in top cabinet posts.

That's right, I forgot those comments. Scratch that then, it could be Susan Rice. Honestly, Cuomo was just a guess, it could be anyone.

[Mr. Morden]

Samantha Power isn't happening for obvious reasons.  Wesley Clark won't happen either, since he's kind of old and kind of crazy.

More likely prospects for State would be folks like Tom Donilon and Jim Steinberg, and Ashton Carter or Michele Flournoy for Defense.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

The usual neoliberal suspects.

[Likely Voter]

Not sure about names right now, but I suspect it would be the most diverse cabinet ever, certainly no majority of white men.

[Mordecai]

Secretary of State: Susan Rice
Secretary of the Treasury: Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Sarah Bloom Raskin, Larry Summers
Secretary of Defense: Richard Blumenthal, Ashton Carter, Christine Fox, Jack Reed
Attorney General: Andrew Cuomo, Kamala Harris, Lisa Madigan

And with that in mind I'll try again

Secretary of State: Susan Rice
Secretary of Defence: Bob Menendez
Secretary of Treasury: Erskine Bowles
Attorney-General: Ed Rendell
Secretary of Labor: Ted Strickland
Secretary of Interior: Carol Browner
Secretary of Agriculture: Debbie Stabenow
Secretary of Commerce: Don't know, probably some Clinton fundraiser
Secretary of Education: Barbara Mikulski

Terry McAuliffe for Commerce.

Edit: And some of those people would be a bit old… Bowles, Rendell and Strickland would be well into their seventies and Mikulski would be in her eighties.

Secretary of Defence: Bob Menendez
Secretary of Agriculture: Debbie Stabenow

Uh, both Christie and Snyder would appoint Republicans to their Senate Seats, that immediately rules them out.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

State: William Joseph Burns
Treasury: Erskine Bowles
Defense: Michelle Flournoy
Attorney General: Cheryl Mills

Of these four, how many are current or former elected officials? Why do people think Babs Mikulski will end her 30+ years in the Senate to take over HHS or Education? Or that Cuomo will resign as Governor to be AG?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

VP: Satan
SoS: Spectre of Death
Treasury: Nelson Rockefeller back from Hell
SecDef: Adolf Hitler.

[BaconBacon96]

VP: Satan

I'm not sure if Dick Cheney would want to be VP again under Hillary.

[Maxwell]

The only ones I can think of:

Secretary of State: John Kerry or Jon Huntsman
Secretary of Treasury: Larry Summers (Gets rejected 45-52 in an embarrassing show), Sylvia Burell
Secretary of Defense: Michelle Flournoy
Attorney General: Cheryl Mills
Secretary of Transportation: Antonio Villarigosa or Heath Schuler

[Senator Cris]

Well?

[Oakvale]

Secretary of State: Terry McAuliffe
Secretary of the Treasury: Marc Rich's corpse
Secretary of Defense: Mark Penn
Attorney General: James Carville
