yes, it was hypothetical, like she hasn't made any cabinet decisions yet because she is focused on winning first, but she is open to the idea because she likes diversity of opinions.
@peeppeepcircus @dauphin87 @rpardee
OK but she could get diverse opinions without having an R in the cabinet. It just means that there'd a potential avenue for Trump wishes to creep into at least one department. Which one would be put at risk?
She didn't say she'd choose a MAGA. I think she understands that threat.
I would be fine with Adam Kinzinger.

Not intentionally for sure but I would not turn my back on any of them who stayed in that toxic party after 2021.
luckily she has an excellent track record as California AG of facing down the many faces of danger, outsmarting it every time, and holding power to account.
@peeppeepcircus @Sr0bi @dauphin87 @rpardee He's anti choice and has ambitions to be president. That's just foolish. She doesn't need a republican in her cabinet at all. She can have as many information czars as she wants.
@TrueBloodNet @peeppeepcircus @dauphin87 @rpardee
Isn't there also some
scenario where a cabinet member is in the line of succession? Designated survivor or some such thing?
@Sr0bi @peeppeepcircus @dauphin87 @rpardee YUP! In this order:
VP
SotH
PPTSen
Sec State
Sec Treasury
Sec Def
AG
Sec Int
Sec Ag
Sec Com
Sec Labor
Sec HHS
Sec HUD
Secretary of Trans
Secretary of Energy
Secretary of Ed
Secretary of V A
Secretary of H Sec
@TrueBloodNet @peeppeepcircus @dauphin87 @rpardee
Also why potentially give Republicans an ear inside cabinet meetings? Or does that exist regardless?
