Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said Saturday that if he is elected president, he will ask soccer player Megan Rapinoe to be his secretary of state.
He said at the progressive Netroots Nation conference that one of his first acts as president would be to get a secretary of State who embraces world unity and “love rather than hate” as he rebuked President Trump’s foreign policy.
“My first act will be to ask Megan Rapinoe to be my secretary of State,” he said. “I haven’t asked her yet, so this could be a surprise to her.”
“I actually believe this because what I think what she has said that has inspired us so much is such an antithesis of the president’s foreign policies,” he added.

The 400 or so Democrat candidates are each going to great lengths to stand out from the rest of the pack. What they come up with to make themselves distinctive is why this is often called the silly season.
I guess these sound bytes are good for a few laughs. But that’s about it.
