Diversity is irrelevant when what you’re after is the most competent people to do the job.....

John Heilemann: Potential Trump Cabinet Has Lack Of Diversity

How can John Heilemann possibly report on diversity at this early stage of naming the Trump cabinet? Is he anxious to be wrong yet again, in case there is a shadow of doubt? Or is it wishful thinking on his part?

We want people who think like America, not people who "look" like America! Or is that thought too complex for the John Heilemann's of this world?

We don’t want ‘diversity’. We want competence. and that is exactly the criterion Trump uses for filling the gov. positions, this is what is needed exactly to “make Americs great again.”

This is why we elected him.

You can only make America great again with “qualified” people no matter how diverse. This is a no-brainer. It’s time to screen credentials.

Yea, they forget cancer is a diverse disease, so not all diversity works. To put someone in a job because of the color of their skin or sex, rather then their ability to do the job is dumb and a recipe for failure, destruction and death.

Absolutely correct. There isn’t any diversity. All appointees must be competent. No incompetents needed to fill slots based on color, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.

Trump needs to institute a cabinet level Office of Diversity staffed by one transexual creole woman whose sole task is to produce reports on different non political subjects every week.

Dubya had a much more diverse cabinet than Bubba but he never got credit for it, so “what difference does it make” to coin a phrase.

Remember, comrades. Diversity is the opposite of unity.

It will probably have some of the more diverse skillsets and greater coverage of need than any cabinet in memory.

It will be a cabinet of people who deserve to be there on merit instead of as token representation of some pandered-to constituency.

So, yeah. All smart and competent. Very homogenous in that sense.

It’s like your starting five in basketball. You don’t diversify, you choose the best five. Got it?

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

What do we want?

People placed in positions of power...based on their color? Their gender?

Their sexual preferences?

Absolutely NOT...!! I want the best person for the job. PERIOD.

I work with a couple gay guy's....They are young.

One is flaming...and a crappy employee.

The other is a good kid...and a hard worker.

If he came to me looking for a job...I'd hire him. Because he has character. The other guy....nope wouldn't hire him.

Is this the ass---e who was one of the 3 "political analysts" who were the main stars of "The Circus", that Showtime series about the Presidential race?

Anyone who can get it streamed or downloaded, make sure to watch the last episode (#26), which covers the Nov. 8 election and Donald Trump's victory.

Early in the episode, the 3 of them are smugly discussing how the only "real" issue of the night would be the magnitude of Trump's defeat, and the tone of his concession speech. ROTFLMAO!

This Heilemann dork couldn't disguise his fury at the American Peoples' audacity in electing Trump. He was as bitter as they come. He and Mark Halperin went on the Colbert show during that episode, and Halperin was the same: simply couldn't hide his disdain, calling Trump's election victory a "cataclysm" on the order of the Civil War, etc. Colbert looked like he was about to cry. He was rendered dumbfounded and speechless...

These Leftist clowns deserve to stew in their own juices, and that last episode of "The Circus" is well worth the watch if you enjoy seeing conceited Democrat jerks getting their just desserts...
