    His pick for Secretary of State was the architect of the disastrous Syria policy that eventually led to ISIS.

    Yeah but who needs experience, intelligence, and expertise when you can have all that diversity? Such a utopian dream!

    What makes her qualified for it? She forced inmates to fight wildfires for a dollar and made others help with the campaign laughing at them saying if they didn't want to do it then they shouldn"t have smoked marijuana. That's disgraceful for a VP.

    It does for those who are afraid of diversity.

    And here's another historic first for sleepy Joe- his national approval rating is already higher than anything trump ever earned in 4 years.
    That's another thing that trump can gnash his false teeth at.

    You can't be serious, dude... You need some higher standards. What looks like America, would be a strong cabinet with a strong backbone. The cabinet Biden wants to put together has the backbone of a smoked sardine.

    It's just depressing that we're going to return to this: Failed leadership and excuses for that failed leadership. Which will then lead us to another outsider pick, but are we mentally mature enough as a country to understand that doing things differently means that it will look different?

    Competency over diversity, your looks, race, class shouldn't factor AT ALL into your nomination. If it does, that means you're not capable of serving the government at its best(just like affirmative action has not given us the best graduates.)

    That's brilliant. Joe has higher ratings before he even becomes president than Trump ever did. Awesome. And unsurprising.

    Nobody said it does. You're the one making absolute statements like "there's no such thing as the 'best' person for the job". Totally ridiculous.

    We should all throw a big party cause one of the most corrupt POSs in forty years of American politics gave some underling positions to two or three minorities in order to fool everyone into thinking he actually gives a damn about diversity.

    Lol...you mean like the gang of lapdogs that trump hired and would start their meetings competing to see who could grovel the most to curry trump's favor?
    Didn't it make you gag to see idiots like Reince getting down on his knees to service trump during cabinet meetings?
    It looked like a scene from North Korea.

    So basically you are saying these polls are utterly useless, and say exactly what the media wants them to say. They are obviously based on nothing else if his grade is so wonderful without even holding the job yet.

    "First black ____"
    "First hispanic ____"
    "First woman ____"
    "First woman of color _____"

    If the only thing that's noteworthy about their accomplishment is the genitals or skin color of the "accomplisher", I don't consider it a noteworthy accomplishment at all. It's like participation trophies for particular races and genders: "we know someone already did this, but you're the first one of your kind to do it, so you get a trophy too. Thanks for participating."

    :above: Yes and yes.

    If we learned anything from Obama, it's that race can beat out qualifications. I wonder if now, whenever any of these people are criticized or questioned, all we'll hear from the left will be screaming and deflection about "racism" and "sexism", like we did with Obama, instead of facing criticisms head on. Eight years of being supposed to bite our tongues about Obama's failures because he was black was so much fun, four years of doing the same for Biden's virtue signaling pandering choices should be a blast too, hooray! :roll:

    I mean, Biden's got to find some way to make up for the fact that he's white, right? :p

    You should be better informed if you want to participate intelligently.

    Well it was white Democrats who tried to railroad Clarence Thomas from getting his seat on the Supreme Court. Perhaps we can reach an accommodation with you. I would be more than happy to replace the other 8 Supreme Court Justices with 8 black men with Clarence Thomas's worldview. You will get your precious "diversity" and I will get a Supreme Court that shares my principles.
