“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    They’ll just make conservatively flavored decisions regarding corporations and regulation and social rights. Cabinet staff matters, and there’s plenty of room between “balls-out” bad and “good”. At absolute best a Republican is going to give us reliable centrism, but there are plenty of Democrats for whom that would be their worst and we might actually see Democratic policy enacted where possible.

    All to impress the vanishing handful of “good Republicans” at the expense of all the Democrats who don’t feel the need to rehabilitate them for the shitty ideas they had well before Trump.
