Because it's fun to think about? If you have a topic more interesting and worthy of conversation, then make that topic. Empty quoting someone else is not interesting commentary.
Have at it. I'm not a moderator and I won't lock or delete this thread. I personally, however, don't care, and posted accordingly. The Presidency and Vice-Presidency matters to me, and so do the merit of the President's Cabinet nominations. However, the race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious views, marital status, veteran' status, and any other demographic index are not something I care about in a Cabinet Secretary.

If the best candidate for every single position is a straight white male between the ages of 50 and 70 with a lovely wife and four successful kids and a 3500 sq ft home in Arlington, then I want him in that position, diversity be damned.  There's a place for diversity quotas but it sure as hell isn't in the Secretary of Defense of Secretary of State offices.
I know if you go ask a bunch of democrats if the world would be a better place if a trans woman of color had been made secretary of state after world war 2, they would say yes, but I'm pretty damn glad we had George Marshall or the world might be a very different place today.  Given the choice between diversity and the next George Marshall, I sure hope we have a president who has the guts to pick Marshall in spite of the flak he'll get for being a racist sexist homophobe (RSH™) who doesn't value diversity.  And if the next George Marshall happens to be black or a woman or gay or what have you, great, then everyone can be happy.

People that think an all white and male cabinet would be a result of the random happenstance of meritocracy are hopelessly naive.

Yeah, it's highly unlikely that there isn't a single qualified woman or minority for any cabinet position. Bobby Jindal would be (well, I think he'd be awful, but that's not the point) a decent pick for Health and Human Services for a Republican, for example. Sarah Palin may have made a decent pick for Interior if she hadn't been picked by McCain and showed her craziness.

To answer the question, I think it would be Trump, but I doubt that he would have zero diversity of any kind.
