Here's my original comment (I underlined part of it):

I don’t know if he’ll do it, but Trump needs to choose a female Veep candidate if possible.

I am not saying Trump must abandon honor and merit, am I?

You are saying that he should choose based on gender. I say that is abandoning morality. You choose based on merit and if people are equally qualified you can consider other factors.

In general I do not accept that a woman would be a prudent choice but there are exceptions like Maggie Thatcher. Most of the other world leaders have been dross or frankly incompetent. Choosing a woman per se is pandering to the worst of woke ideology.
