He should nominate based on qualification, not gender.

I agree, and I'm certain Trump agrees.

However, this is politics, not business, which means that people's perceptions count, even if many of those people are somewhat irrational.

The fact is that a highly visible female nomination will get Trump more votes.

Therefore, even if she is not the most qualified, as long as she is among the most qualified, then I'm okay with Trump favoring a female pick.

He maybe did choose the most qualified (in his opinion) and it happens to be a woman, and now he's saying he'll nominate a woman

That's a good point. Trump is always thinking multiple steps ahead, and he usually already knows the answer before he puts out an idea or a question.
