Like to take her out on a date if she is single.

Before this, she was an Obama appointee in Nepal. I would have prefered a more hawkish republican who would be really tough on SL as the ambassador.

A Republican who would care less for the environment, everyone must be Christian, carry guns/firearms openly, no equality among humans?
