Washington – Hillary Clinton says she will aim to have a Cabinet that is half women if she is elected president.

During an MSNBC town hall Monday evening, host Rachel Maddow asked Clinton if she would match a pledge that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made — and kept — to appoint women to half of his Cabinet positions.
Clinton says, “I am going to have a Cabinet that looks like America, and 50 percent of America is women.”
This is beyond stupid. People should be hired based on competence and ability, not their gender.
So we hire people based on gender, not on qualifications. How dumb and progressive.
Hillary’s not a woman she’s a monster
If her Cabinet looks like America, does that mean it’ll include illegal aliens?
Agree with #1 and #2 . Half of America is Republican; I bet her cabinet won’t have any of those.
As dumb as it gets.
America’s in trouble…
good idea. women are smarter than men
What if the men are more qualified… Could happen!
how stupid is that? Why not choose a cabinet with people who deserve to be on it??? Not by color….not by gender.
She didn’t tell how many will be african-americans,as she is pandering to them for a large block of votes.
Throw a number in a hat with your qualifications!! It does not say your sex, religion or gender. You are hired simply on merit!! That is the way it should work!!
Why not 0?
Come on – this “what if a man is more qualified” argument is so boring. All she plans to do is give qualified women jobs on her cabinet. And although there seems to be a bunch of guys around here who think qualified women don’t exist – in the real world there are a lot of highly qualified female experts.
This is why I was always terrified of Hillary becoming president. The whole cabinet will look like something out of Oprah Winfrey (I wouldn’t be surprised if she were picked).
This is the “political correctness” that is destroying the country. One is good if she is female, a Democrat, and other things that have zero connection to competence, knowledge, or experience, let alone morality.
The cabinet can be 100% male so long as half of them SAY they are women.
What she plans to do is definitely NOT politically correct. What about the transgenders? They don’t count!
