People love to create 'dream' Cabinets made up of people in primaries or primaries past, but generally you want people who are more subject matter experts in those areas. And the vast majority of positions (aside from State, Treasury) are less important than, say, a Senate seat (that being said, I do think it's interesting that Sanders is angling for the Labor job, but I do think that the various rumored union leaders would be a better option - and would keep Sanders in the Senate).

If he is a rising star, he should run for Senate or Governor in Indiana.
Democrats definitely have a problem with creating new leaders. They for the most part don't want them. But if they change their path, I'd rather see positions go to people who took on tough fights like Abrams, Beto, Ossof, etc.
