“I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” she said in an early excerpt of the interview set to air Thursday evening. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    40 years of neoliberalism, we continue to shift further to the right.

    Why a Republican specifically? “Reaching across the aisle” is a wasted effort with these people, they’ll still spit in your face. Get the most qualified people for the position and don’t consider their political leanings as the primary factor for hiring them on. Although it is kind of funny that she’s considering a Republican as a DEI hire.

    She’s learned every wrong lesson from Biden…

    All but two cabinet positions require Senate confirmation, which can be filibustered.

    Of the two that remain, one is the Vice President, and we already know who that is. The other is White House Chief of Staff.

    Is she going to appoint a Palestinian in her Cabinet too? Place your bets here!

      Who do you think would be a good fit for a cabinet position, which requires administrative and policy experience?

        Is “administrative and policy experience” slang for “being bribed by corporate”?

        If not there sure are a lot of “experienced” people not very good at their job.

          You complain about no Palestinians, but when I ask for recommendations, you choose to not answer. That really doesn’t help the cause, and it makes you seem like you want to create discontent rather than actually being interested in having a Palestinian cabinet member.

          I can think of several well known Palestinians with experience who might be a good cabinet member. Your list gets mine.

            What cause is being helped by recommending a Palestinian cabinet member for Kamala? That’s like asking to recommend a Jewish cabinet member for Adolf Hitler. I’m saying she should appease to people who don’t like Genocide instead of Republicans.
