Historically few women have made it to the heights of power around the world, but those that do almost always do an exceptional job - probably because - since women have a much harder time getting ahead in general - those that do somehow manage to claw their way to the top tend to be the best of the best.
Same can't be said of men.

Not too likely.

In Kind: Yes potentially by making the laws even more anti-male.

Oh, for fun.

Let's all hope Donald Trump repeats this word for word at an interview on a major network this week.

Fingers crossed.

Yet another Trump fan revealing what kind of folks support Mr. Trump. The picture gets clearer each passing day.

There have been literally countless number of female leaders in the world (including Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, Corazon Aquino, Mary McAleese and so on and so on), and I don't recall those countries imploding during their tenure.

What you are saying, basically, is that the worst man in the country is better than the best woman in the country in running a nation. Make an everyday, real-life observation and you would know immediately that such proposition is totally dumb to even suggest. Unless one is a bigot and sexist.

I'll see your Margaret Thatcher and raise you one Golda Meir. There's a woman who could teach pretty much every US male politician something about leadership and grit.

The kind of people who won a Revolutionary War and founded this country support Trump. Weak liberals who have weakened it support Hillary.

What does that mean? 1) Got accused of sexually harassing a woman, 2) was forced to pay child support, or 3) lost a job to a woman and thinks it was because of affirmative action, not merit.

however, there are some women who are outstanding human beings, and who would make better leaders then some men....not only as leaders but in foreign policies and decision makers...unfortunately, Hillary is not that person. She is a really sick woman....who has hurt people to get where she is going...a lot of people, and I've seen corporate women do the same. Blames everyone else for their mistakes, and keeps making them....Hillary is no exception.

Hillary is a nasty woman, who is in fact indecisive and would make a very poor leader and she has proven that, over and over again....However, but...in the same, I'm not at all into the agenda she stands for.

I do believe a lot of women out there are in positions strictly b/c they are women....I've seen not only how indecisive they are, but also how they are unable to multi task, everything is last minute...and how down right mean and nasty...they can be, without any regard for the lives they've hurt and changed.
I'm hoping with Trump as President, one of the changes he brings about is, "The best man/woman for the job". this Diversity thing is ridiculous when it comes down to effectiveness and accuracy.

However, I to, have worked for woman who did a better job then most men have....it just depends...but to put women in charge b/c of their skin color or simply b/c they are women is a big mistake.

It infuriates me, that they want to be out there in the work force, but also want a maturnity leave...they want it all without any regards to the company during that time they are off, or without any regards to their children...they want the money and power. I worked for a woman with 3 kids who traveled constantly...doesn't make sense....what kind of life is that for the children...the father also traveled...they had nanny's for the kids. How unfair.
I will clarify that an exceptional woman could be a good President. Certainly not Hillary. Not even close.
