Yes, because it's MUCH more important to have a cabinet that is based on gender and or race than it is to get the best qualified people regardless of gender, race or creed. We're so screwed.

You're right that it's stupid. But it doesn't mean were screwed. The quality will be just as high as the usual cabinet, which is filled with connected people or people owed favors, that hopefully have some appropriate credentials, just as those women will. I assume they sometimes come from high up administrative roles in the department their heading. And if not the high level admins in those departments run a lot of it anyway. Besides, well see. I would predict it will not be as many women as predicted.

Are Finland, Sweden, France and Canada screwed as well? It seems like a non-issue, as there are likely plenty of qualified women to choose from. I'm surprised she would commit to it though. It would have been smarter politically for her to say that she would look for qualified women and pick them when they were the best candidates or something to that effect.
Trump is right again, if she was a man, she wouldn't have a chance in hell
How pathetic for women's rights, to elect such a shitty person with no integrity, solely because she is a female. Feminists ruining everything again

Same as Obama: if it weren't for black votes, he wouldn't have won 8 states.
In contrast, white guys never attract votes from whites or guys, or fecause they're white guys. Our first 43 presidents won on merit. If Eisenhower had been a black lesbian, he would have stomped Adlai Stevenson just the same.
Why can't we go back to merit?

Gimme a break. Does anyone think she will pick anyone as bad as "Brownie" (see Katrina) to an important federal job ?

And the odds of finding someone in the Hillary Administration who'll make me a sandwich? Nil!
Don't worry, she will continue on her husbands 8 years of hard work, and Obamas 8 years of hard work, to continue pushing all those goals that they care about so much.
Higher wages
Affordable healthcare
Affordable education
She just needs eight more years, and then she will be able to deliver us everything Bernie campaigns on. Because she's a woman
Clinton would copy Canadian PM on cabinet
WASHINGTON — Justin Trudeau's gender-equal cabinet could soon be replicated in the United States, depending on the outcome of the current American election.
The poll-leading presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, appeared to indicate her intention to follow suit when asked about it in a televised event on the eve of Tuesday's five northeastern primaries.
A moderator had asked about the federal cabinet to the north: "Canada has a new prime minister, Justin Trudeau. He promised when he took office that he would have a cabinet that was 50 per cent women, and then he did it. He made good on his promise. Would you make that same pledge?"
Clinton suggested she would: "I am going to have a cabinet that looks like America, and 50 per cent of America is women, right?" That prompted the MSNBC moderator, Rachel Maddow, to conclude, "So that's a yes?"
Canada's gender-balanced cabinet has gotten a fair bit of attention in the U.S., fuelled partly by how the prime minister responded to a question about it with a shoulder shrug and the sound bite: "Because it's 2015."
But in reality, Canada didn't blaze that particular trail.
Finland's cabinet is 62 per cent female; Cape Verde's is 53 per cent; Sweden's is 52 per cent; and France's is 50 per cent, according to last year's statistics from the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Even within Canada, the first gender-parity cabinet was created not by Trudeau — but by the former premier in Trudeau's home province of Quebec, Jean Charest.
Clinton remains the U.S. presidential front-runner, despite a tougher-than-expected primary challenge.
She retains a significant lead over her more progressive challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and is expected to add to it Tuesday in primaries in Maryland, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware.
She has also consistently led general-election polls against the two Republican front-runners — Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz — although she has performed far more poorly against less-successful Republican candidates like Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the dropped-out Marco Rubio.
Trump has also been asked about the Canadian cabinet — and he won't commit to copying the Trudeau formula.
