Harris says she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected
www.nbcnews.com
In a clip of a CNN interview scheduled to air in full Thursday night, Harris said she was committed to welcoming diverse points of view.

“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. 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,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    OK I hear you but

    Because [not fair, tit for tat]

    Sounds like an insufficient reason to pass up a tactical advantage. That would be “cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face,” wouldn’t it?

      Hey it’s politics - tactical advantage wins over integrity every time, I get it. I can still be pissed off though, right? She’s getting my vote, do I AT LEAST get to be angry about it without being told to shush?

      (Not by you specifically.)

        For sure, it doesn’t feel just to offer olive branches to folks who haven’t earned it. I don’t know if I’d be emotionally mature enough to do it, but I’m glad to have a candidate who can keep a cool head and do what it takes to win.

      This assumes that announcing you’ll give Republicans power is a tactical advantage. That’s the whole core of the false dichotomy.
