Manchin, RFK, Jr, ,Gabbard, Ramaswamy - really and finally drain the swamp!
All great nominees for either Dem, GOP or third party ticket in any order. Who says there can’t be more than one VP? Or that the ticket can’t include a top cabinet, CIA or FBI Director or UN Ambassador?

RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist who opposes all vaccines, not just the COVID one. He also holds many views most conservatives would oppose. He has filed numerous pro-environmental lawsuits, including against the U.S. Navy, opposes factory farming, fossil fuels, fracking, the Dakota Access pipeline, coal, nuclear energy, and hydroelectric dams. He also supports a single-payer health care system and student loan forgiveness.
He also holds views many Democrats wouldn't go along with. He opposes gun control and trans women in girls' sports, and says the Russian invasion of Ukraine was justified. RFK also believes that China and the US are developing "ethnic bioweapons" designed to only affect members of certain races, despite the fact that this is scientifically impossible. He also believes that his uncle JFK and his father were assassinated by the CIA, and has supported Sirhan Sirhan's parole, despite the presence of several witnesses to his father's assassination who saw Sirhan fire the shots. Sirhan also confessed to the assassination, although he recanted a few years ago.
Despite being a Democrat, RFK is supported by Steve Bannon and David O. Sacks, who is also a DeSantis supporter. It should be obvious that RFK is a poor fit for both parties, and is only in the race as a disruptor.
I've already commented on Gabbard so I won't repeat that. However, she hasn't declared her candidacy. I suppose she's available for VP. Manchin is weighing a run for his old job of West Virginia governor, not the presidency. He's way too conservative to run as a Democrat nationwide, and as a former Democrat, wouldn't be trusted by Republicans.
I actually like your idea of candidates saying who will be in their cabinet. I just don't think it will ever happen as it will put the spotlight on more people and potentially harm their campaign if negative information comes out about a cabinet nominee. That's great for the public but not great for the candidate.
