Imagine Jay Inslee saying, "Sure, I'd similar to travel President, but hey, the odds of that are pretty slim, together with the fact of the thing is, I'd travel pretty happy to travel EPA administrator." (I'm reasonably certain that, if he's sensible, inward the black of the nighttime Inslee thinks that already.) You tin dismiss operate out through the listing of Democratic candidates together with gather a pretty good, maybe fifty-fifty well-above-average, Cabinet: Kamala Harris for Attorney General; Pete Buttigieg for Secretary of State; Elizabeth Warren for Secretary of Treasury; together with more. And whatever candidate who managed to clit this off -- that is, non merely coming upward amongst a listing of people she or he would nominate for the Cabinet, but genuinely getting those people to agree, fifty-fifty to the betoken of withdrawing from the presidential primaries -- would operate out a long means non alone to crafting a get but also to alleviating line of piece of job organisation that the primary competitor volition severely weaken the eventual Democratic nominee.
The idea is that Democrats (and eventually, perhaps, Republicans) could motion toward creating something similar (a distant cousin of) a shadow Cabinet. And, dissimilar merely about of my other speculations virtually innovative political moves (such equally the creation of formal authorities coalitions crossing political party lines), at that spot don't appear to travel structural reasons standing inward the way.
What does stand upward inward the way, of course, is ego -- or, to a greater extent than politely, an oftentimes good grounded judgment yesteryear second-tier candidates (and fifty-fifty to a greater extent than thence yesteryear merely about first-tier candidates): H5N1 somebody approached yesteryear candidate X to instruct a fellow member of the shadow Cabinet volition think, "Certainly non all the same -- there's a decent conduct chances that candidate X volition stumble fifty-fifty if I sign on amongst her or him, together with if I rest inward the race there's merely about conduct chances that I'll genuinely instruct the nomination." (We've already seen something akin to this inward the tweetiverse reaction to suggestions -- non from whatever candidate -- that a ticket of Biden for President, Harris for Vice-President would travel genuinely strong.)
Here's a idea virtually a "second-best" solution -- the usual love-fest of competing shadow Cabinets. Each candidate continues to enjoin "I'm inward it to win it, together with I empathize that everyone else is too" but together with thence names a shadow Cabinet: Warren says, "I'd honey to convey Harris inward my Cabinet equally Attorney General, Buttigieg equally Secretary of State, Inslee equally EPA head." Harris says, "Warren for Treasury, Buttigieg for State, etc." And thence on. Nobody has to settle inward advance for instant place, but maybe the intensity of the competitor for offset house mightiness diminish. (My cynical idea hither is that the obstruction to the usual love-fest isn't the candidates' egos, but the ambitions of their staffers, who aren't mature plenty to create the appropriate calculations: the value of beingness a principal aide to a President discounted yesteryear the jeopardy of consummate failure inward the primary elections together with the jeopardy of losing inward the full general election inward business office because of persisting bad feelings generated yesteryear the primaries, versus the value of beingness a deputy or assistant Secretary discounted yesteryear the smaller jeopardy of failure of the shadow Cabinet strategy inward the primary elections together with the jeopardy of losing inward the full general election anyway.)
