Yes! I concur 100%
It looks like either Sanders,Biden, or Bloomberg will win the nomination.

So let's lay out the VP and Cabinet choices NOW.

From Mr. Friedman's article;

“I want people to know that if I am the Democratic nominee these will be my Cabinet choices — my team of rivals.

I want Amy Klobuchar as my vice president. Her decency, experience and moderation will be greatly appreciated across America and particularly in the Midwest.

I want Mike Bloomberg (or Bernie Sanders) as my secretary of the Treasury.
Our plans for addressing income inequality are actually not that far apart, and if we can blend them together it will be great for the country and reassure markets.

I want Joe Biden as my secretary of state. No one in our party knows the world better or has more credibility with our allies than Joe.

I will ask Elizabeth Warren to serve as health and human services secretary. No one could bring more energy and intellect to the task of expanding health care for more Americans than Senator Warren."

He continues to name nearly all the candidates we've seen...

"“I want Kamala Harris for attorney general. She has the toughness and integrity needed to clean up the corrupt mess Donald Trump has created in our Justice Department.

I would like Mayor Pete as homeland security secretary; his intelligence and military background would make him a quick study in that job.

I would like Tom Steyer to head a new Cabinet position: secretary of national infrastructure. We’re going to rebuild America, not just build a wall on the border with Mexico.

And I am asking Cory Booker, the former mayor of Newark, to become secretary of housing and urban development. Who would bring more passion to the task of revitalizing our inner cities than Cory?"

...and he even goes on to name the former challenger to Obama, Mitt Romney - to fill a position.

“I am asking Mitt Romney to be my commerce secretary. He is the best person to promote American business and technology abroad — and it is vital that the public understands that my government will be representing all Americans, including Republicans.

And last, but not least; Andrew Yang!

" I would like Andrew Yang to be energy secretary, overseeing our nuclear stockpile and renewable energy innovation. He’d be awesome."

WOW!
