Why can't we have a woman for a president?
Of course we can have a woman president ... there is even one woman candidate at the moment. I think if you do some checking you'll find that most candidates start in Congress or the Senate and most are currently men. In other words, there are fewer women politicians. Like her or not, I will not be surprised if we one day see Barbara Boxer's name on the presidential ticket. She is an intelligent, experienced and shrewd woman. Some folks can't stand her politics - but that doesn't take her out of the game. I'd vote for a woman over a man in a heart beat if I felt she was equal or the best candidate. It is curious to me how quite a few struggling nations in the world actually have already elected to have strong women presidents and yet the USA, which prides itself on having such a wonderful democratic system, doesn't seem to generate very good candidates and has yet to elect a woman.
Only when a woman runs for president, who has the brains to do what is required to get elected.Hillary had the popular vote, but still lost; which means that she was wasting her resources preaching to the choir or beating a dead horse— while Donald Trump was busy convincing the undecided voters to give him a chance, in the districts that would supply the most electoral votes.And those are the votes that win elections, you know!And if anyone can’t figure out that one simple fact: they sure don’t belong in the nation’s highest office.But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo….Hillary just keeps on clinging to relevance, saying:I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE!Good for you, Hill…. want a cookie?Good, go bake some.(I bet she wishes everyone would forget about that!)
1) It's early "in the game." It's largely a popularity contest still.2) Possibly "political experience" is not that important anymore. The US Congress approval rate is something around 14%, with an 84% disapprove rate! My point being, with all of their (US Congress) experience (lifelong politicians), it's possible we are sick of "politics." Even if we don't know/understand or are consciously aware of it. Maybe we want someone with "real world" leadership experience. Someone we may see as intelligent, successful, able to change the game.That said, Obama had very little political experience... so I think that support that it's not that important of an issue to people.I'd claim that Trump and Fiorina have experience similar (equivalent) to Obama, working with politicians/government while conducting business. Business is very political in America too.
I will be taking this as women who could potentially get elected, with support and political experience.DemocratsHillary Clinton : Clinton wil likely be an incumbent president in 2020, and would probably get reelected, short of a major -gate scandal, or if she begins a war.Elizabeth Warren : Likely to be a choice for VP, and one of the most popular and progressive Democrats. Should no other progressive fill the role, she could potentially run.Tulsi Gabbard : A representative from Hawaii, she is fantastically competent in foreign policy, being a veteran and a Bernie aligned progressive. She will likely continue the Bernie momentum at some point. She may be somewhat unexperienced, being 39, with only 6 years in government by 2020.FRINGE CANDIDATES : Nancy Pelosi, Tammy Baldwin, Nina TurnerRepublicansNikki Haley : Governor of South Carolina, she is a moderate Republican and a likely semi-establishment candidate. Could potentially appeal to both minorities and women.Condoleezza Rice : Is able to be supported by liberals, as she is a moderate with bipartisan support. Immensely respected on bot sides of the isle.Suzzana Martinez : Latino governor of New Mexico, is able to appeal to Latino voters. Not much personality, but she is a strong anti-TrumperFRINGE CANDIDATES : Sarah Palin (but people hate her), Carly Fiorina
Yes, among other things. His was my vote to lose and he lost it by turning right into the arms of the bumper-sticker Christians after the Republican convention instead of left toward the center. where a lot of disaffected former Republicans and independents were waiting for a sign he was a fiscal Republican not a social conservative. He never gave it.And then he really looked like he was out of his depth. A challenger has to appear presidential because his opponent is the president. Instead, Romney seemed to be running for fraternity president. I hope the Republicans are looking at their farm system, because they don't have any pennant race players on the bench.
I would caution against judging discourse like a ping-pong game.If it's a competition between egos and who was more offensive or offended or who is better at scare tactics then it isn't about improving the country about job creation or infrastructure.If it were a competition between these two people then let's consider what competition in those terms, mean.When someone takes the offended stance it's a score in the game of sociopathy...sick society.Carly scored, in that sense because there's no getting around the fact that Trump doesn't like the way she looks. My guess is that we get back to not being politically correct...two words for "polite". My guess is a lot of people look at Carly Fiorina and secretly agree they would have a hard time looking at her as president.Further, I'd guess that a lot of people admire the way he got out of that. "I was only kidding..." kind of evasion. If we can make fun of Trump's hair or Rand Paul's hair we can possibly agree that she looks scared and mean at the same time. Trump shifts reality after the fact. He meant persona. He loves Mexicans. Fiorina exploits her victimization. Who won? Not our country.
If elected, who will fill McCain's cabinet?
duchess if he gets elected and i think he will w/ all THe prejudice in this election ( and we haven't seen the worst yet I'm afraid) i believe McCain will get elected cause some whites could never bring themselves to vote for barrack and barrack is human he is gonna have faults and make mistakes these mistakes Will be magnified by GOP contributors to give even more the case to not vote for an good presidential candidate ( less alone he is black ) McCain if elected will give white America and women ( white ) exactly what they deserve and I'm SO sad i think it will come to fruition
