I agree, a woman can do the job. That doesn't mean just any woman though. Hillary is not the best fit for this, I'm afraid.
OK, I hear what you are saying, she's not Republican. But, on the GOP side, Carly Florina is not going to win the nomination. She has zero experience in politics, or for that matter anything other than being a business person (ultimately, canned by HP). I don't know if Mrs. Palin would run again, but it is safe to assume she would not be the nominee for many reasons that I would not state here.
Hillary would get the Democratic nomination.
So, it's either Hillary or wait until 2020 or 2024 (at least) for our first female President. How long are we going to wait until the "perfect" female candidate comes along? She's been FLOTUS, US Senator and Secretary of State. No, not good enough.
Frankly, it is quite embarrassing that our country, which claims to be the most progressive nation on gender equality, has not even come close to electing a female President. The following countries have had female leaders, in some cases, since many decades ago:
Argentina, Ireland, Australia, German, Great Britain, Panama, Peru, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Central African Republic, Costa Rica, Poland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Croatia, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Indonesia, France, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Thailand, Kosovo, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, South Korea, Sri Lanka, among others.
It's a disgrace. Females have been the majority in this country for some time now. Good thing we keep having "perfect" male candidates.
We all know that rappers are the best and the brightest in our society today, I am sure their massive intellectual capacity was fully utilized in considering this issue.
Well maybe they are since many of them make millions. Rap is just another genre of music so don't try to belittle those who are into that kind of music.

It isn't a disgrace at all. You can't and shouldn't "affirmative action" someone into the White House, regardless of gender, race, religion, or orientation. If people truly wanted her in the White House before, it would have happened. What should matter more to you is whether she is capable of leading the nation herself, will she do a good job, etc., not whether she is a woman or not.
I am also quite certain nobody has officially claimed or proclaimed the US to be the most progressive nation re: gender equality.

I (as a woman) could care less if I ever see a woman president if I don't think she is good for the country. And Hillary sure isn't good for this country. Carly Florina, I don't know enough about her. Palin? No thanks.
How about if we forget color and gender and just vote for the best one. Not possible for liberals?

Waka later endorsed Clinton in an interview with MTV News, proclaiming that "A woman could do it. I've seen my momma raise five boys -- that's super hard, so women can do the same s--- that men could do," adding that he might even help Clinton with her campaign if she helps him promote his newest album, "Flockaveli 2."
Sorry Hillary, no Freebies.
You've got to pay if you want more help than that.
Seems a little bush league (no pun intended) for Hillary.
