Independent_Voice's JournalWho'd be in your "fantasy cabinet" for Hillary Clinton?
Even though the president is the one who makes the final decisions in their administration, the people in their cabinet will definitely have an influence. Cabinet members can still plant seeds, add to the conversation, or finesse the finer points of carrying out actual policy.
So who would you like to see in President Hillary Clinton's administration, and in which positions? Try to keep your list realistic, and consider residual effects. Every presidential cabinet seems to contain a smattering of Governors and members of Congress...but is it worth the risk of a competitive seat automatically going Republican?
Here would be my "fantasy cabinet," although there's such a wealth of excellent possible choices out there it's almost an embarrassment of riches.
