Good question, it would have to be someone non controversial and polarizing, so forget Hillary and John Kerry.
Susan Rice would be a possibility, acceptable to enough and would have the total backing of the Cabal.
Then we have Valerie Jarrett
I am at a loss to think of others right now. But I do think the push might be for a woman who could be made President.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for President Trump to attack her with nicknames the way he does with everybody else. He would immediately lose the black and women vote if he attacks her like he's used to doing.
Like I said, if they oust Blinken for her, then it's "game on!"

Harris does poorly with audiences, but at least she’s been before audiences. I don’t see Valerie Jarrett coming out in the open as a candidate. Susan Rice has been before the cameras before, but I think the general impression picking either of them would create was that the Democrats ran out of candidates and they were the fallback. Whether voters would like them any better than Harris is impossible to say.
But I see you’re talking about Secretary of State, and I suppose Rice would get the job. But she and ValJar aren’t going any further than that.
