Rumors are circulating that President-Elect Donald Trump will be meeting with Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) today to discuss cabinet positions in his administration.

If Trump is smart, which we believe he is, he would pick Gabbard to be his Secretary of State.

Here’s why that’s a good thing:

First of all, a Republican President-Elect offering the top diplomat position, who represents the United States around the world, to a Democrat takes bipartisanship to a whole new level.

Gabbard, who was a hardcore Bernie Sanders supporter, rebuked the Democratic National Committee when DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz proposed only holding six debates. In response, Gabbard was barred from attending the Democratic debate in Las Vegas, and decided to resign as Vice Chair of the DNC and endorse Sanders for president.

Secondly, Trump and Gabbard, agree on foreign policy. Trump believes the Iraq war was a mistake. Gabbard, who served in Iraq from 2004 to 2006, agrees.

Trump and Gabbard both oppose intervening in Syria, and have criticized President Obama’s pinpoint strikes. They’re both against the proposed overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime over concerns that it would create another political vacuum where extremists could take over like with ISIS in Iraq.

On trade, both Trump and Gabbard oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Trump’s main criticism is that it’s taking jobs away from hardworking Americans and is being “pushed by special interests who want to rape our country.” Gabbard, while not using as colorful language as Trump, has said, “The TPP agreement will benefit Wall Street banks and multinational corporations on the backs of hard-working Americans, and it will increase existing threats to our environment.”

These talks between Trump and Gabbard, 35 and therefore a millennial, shows that Trump has his eye on the future and trusts millennials to handle some of the biggest decisions in his administration.

After his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also 35, purged Chris Christie and all of his associates from the Trump transition team, Gabbard would be a massive step-up in dictating our nation’s foreign policy.

Even with all of their agreements on foreign policy, Gabbard would be the youngest serving Secretary of State and the first Hindu to serve in the position. Talk about diversity in Trump’s America.
