I'm not sure if you mean my preference for Clinton's Cabinet or her preference, but I want with the former. As with all of these Cabinet posts, the actual Cabinet will have fewer "big names."

Possible format:

President: Hillary Clinton
Vice President: Xavier Becerra

Secretary of State: John Kerry
Secretary of the Treasury: Elizabeth Warren
Secretary of Defense: Michele Flournoy
Attorney General: Merrick Garland
Secretary of Homeland Security: Susan Collins
Secretary of Health and Human Services: John Podesta

Secretary of Education: Sherrod Brown
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Michelle Nunn
Secretary of Transportation: Max Baucus
Secretary of Energy: Charlie Crist
Secretary of Veterans' Affairs: Ray Mabus
Secretary of Homeland Security: Condoleezza Rice

Since this is pure fiction, I disregarded the politics of having a DINO ticket with Republicans in 2 of the Big 3 cabinet positions or implications on the Senate. If this cabinet doesn't scare the lefties out of the Democratic Party, I don't know what will. (although there are some liberal favorites in there)

Why is this so perfect? Why do you have to tease me with this when I know it'll never happen?

Now this is a power cabinet. The one part that isn't ideal is Lindsay Graham, but at least we now know he is sane and isn't a wacko, even if he is a hawk. While I would be in love with the idea of a Webb presidency, if he had this cabinet, I'd be 100% on board.

I will take a crack at this.  The list is very heavy on experience and on working across the aisle, but it obviously ignores the need for current political compromises.  I didn't plan for everyone to be from different states, but as luck would have it, it just turned out that way.

Besides the fact you'd take two great Dems from MT, and you have Lindsay Graham this cabinet is pretty great.
