GOP frontrunner Donald Trump says he would be open to having people with different opinions serving in his cabinet.

During CNN’s GOP Town Hall in Columbia, South Carolina on Thursday night, Anderson Cooper asked: “Would you want all Republicans in your cabinet?”

“No, not necessarily,” Trump responded. “I want the best people. Honestly, I want the greatest negotiators. We can’t lose $505 billion next year with China.”

Cooper followed up, asking, “Do you find it valuable as a leader in your business world to have people with very different opinions give you different thoughts?”

“I like that,” Trump stated. “Yeah, and then you make the decision. I think I’m very open to that. I like that. I’ve always liked that. I’m fine with it. I want the most talented people.”
