We had two excellent choices for women presidents in the last 15 years. As much as I thought Hillary was eminently qualified, I thought Kamala had a better chance. But the problem was that social media (and the social media channel Pox "News&quot has too much influence and ruined both of their chances. (Hillary's chances weren't helped by the phony email story.)

I would love to see Kamala run for California governor (as has been rumored) or try to run again. (Hell, Nixon lost and won.)

Maybe intelligence will finally beat the maga nitwits.

Whitmer would be the only one with an actual chance, but no way she wins the 2028 Dem primaries, not after 2016 and 2024 Celerity Jan 12 #20

I disagree. If Repubs nominated a woman, she could win the Presidency. No Dem female candidate will win in my lifetime. LonePirate Jan 11 #6
