A Sikh as Secretary of State.
That'd be pretty awesome.
What would make that "awesome" ? We basing qualification on nominee's religion now ?
What are her foreign relations credentials? I know, I know, who cares about resumes.
It's not that no one cares, it's that those with the most "foreign relations credentials" have been the ones creating the challenges we face today.

You have a point. I'm all for having fresh blood in Washington, but there needs to be some experience in that office. And they need to have unflinching negotiating nerve, and American interest at heart. Not the suspicious motives and panty-waists of the last few we've had.
I don't think a Sikh would ever be considered a panty-waist.
And, because this is INGO, I will say for the record that resume matters, experience matters, and principles matter. Haley is light on the direct foreign policy experience, but would have credibility in places we sorely lack it. She would provide an excellent balance to Trump's rhetoric that got him elected. And, while I haven't followed her directly, what I know of her record suggests she is conservative enough for me.
She would not be my first pick. Probably not even my second.
But I would pick her before Romney. And she has intangibles that could be very valuable.

You know that pesky Confederate flag she took off of state grounds, is going to be an issue for some.

... Personally I welcome opinions different from my own. Life would be pretty boring if we all thought alike.
I heard somewhere that diversity+proximity=war
