@Jonathan et el - What do you guys thin of John Logie, then Mayor of Grand Rapids, serving as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, specifically as a result of John Engler being Vice President?
The Alternate Cabinets Thread
- Thread starter Gorrister
- Start date
Could work and is a good way of including Engler.
Would we see Lindsay Graham become more influential in the senate with his friendship to President McCain.

See, if it were a “normal” Democratic President, I wouldn’t think twice about these choices; but Bernie Sanders (along with a number of current presidential candidates) would be elected on a platform including Medicare for All and Public Community College. This means his choice for these secretary-ships will be presiding over some pretty major expansions and restructuring of their respective departments, which themselves are very important in terms of both policy and politics to the administration. Who do you turn to for that kind of job?
I do agree the next Democratic Secretary of Energy will likely be a scientist, like Chu or Moinz, though I would think they could find someone new.
@john Frederick Parker
What about Tom Steyer for Energy, RoseAnn DeMoro for Health and Bobby Scott from Virginia for Education?
Also it's Antonio Villaraigosa

Putting a billionaire hedge fund owner in charge of Energy isn’t my first thought for a Progressive President, and Rose Ann Demoro honestly looks like a better fit for Labor to be honest. Bobby Scott at Education seems like a fine enough pick.
EDIT ADD: I might be overthinking HHS; somebody with lots of experience in the upper management of the Department like Andrea Palm might actually be the best choice here.

Well, all is about our political perceptions. For me Kamala Harris, seeing her tenure as district attorney and her acceptation of Corporate SuperPac money, is not a progressive, at least not in a Bernie Sanders manner and not so progressive to make a revolutionary Cabinet. She could be a left winger of Democratic Party but today it's hard to say so, because, according to their promises, it seems all Democratic candidate be progressive, due their support to Medicare for All and Free College (except for Joe Biden). So I think Harris can be a progressive but not a progressive with scruples toward nominating a progressive millionaire in the Cabinet (if you accept corporate money, Tom Steyer is quite normal, I guess).
Adlai Stevenson in 1956, following a Dewey victory in 1948 and 1952.

Secretary of the Interior- Robert S. Kerr
Secretary of Agriculture- ?
Secretary of Commerce- ?
Secretary of Labor- Paul A. Dever
Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare- Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm unsure of who Adlai would nominate for SecAg or SecComm.

I like this list but Antonio Villaraigosa is radioactive now with his affairs and MLM ties. Maybe Michael Tubbs or another one of the millennial mayors?

Huh, I hadn't heard about his work at Herblife and not even sure I remember the news about his marriage coming apart. I do know that Los Angeles has seen so many transformative changes for the better since the new millenium, and that a lot of the things that distinguish it from other urban development plans (focus on affordable housing, green economic policies, the lack of any prioritization of downtown, etc) are going to be the mark of successful cities going forward.
Since Villaraigosa was a big part of that change (and still popular enough to come in third in the gubernatorial primary), I figured he was the good pick there; my first thought for a backup, personally, would be our current Mayor Garcetti, though I don't know how well having him leave with less than a year to go in his term would go down.
In an hypothetical future where an hard Brexit and the consequent economic crisis lead to the abolition of monarchy and the dissolution of the Union.
