If Condoleeza Rice had ever run, I think she'd win it. But you're right. At 62 years old, she'd be 70 years old minimum before she could ever run. Elizabeth Warren is even older at 67 years old. If she ran in 2020, she'd be 71 years old. Again, probably to old.
Nikki Haley is a strong possibility. We'll see where her career takes her.
I get the strong sense that whenever a woman can actually win the GOP nomination, she'll be hard to beat in the General Election. If that woman happens to be Hispanic or black, then it'd be amazing and virtually unbeatable. My prediction: The first female POTUS will be a Republican.
Donald Trump is 70. Why isn't he too old? Only applies to women who "how could anyone vote for a face like that?"
I would love to see Condi Rice as President but I wouldn't be voting for her because she is a female. I'd be voting for her because she is an extremely intelligent person highly qualified for the job. Based on her statements it doesn't look like I'll have a chance.
Because of Clinton's potential legal troubles it's just another bonus that she wasn't elected. It would be a travesty to have the first woman President under indictment. There is plenty of very intelligent and qualified women for the job, one of them will ascend to the position soon.
OP, in four years, Rice will be 66 and in eight she'll be 70. Clinton is 69 and Trump is 70. Why would Rice probably be out?
It'd be awesome to see!!
The math doesn't work for her to run in 2020 though. That'd be Trump's re-election year. Even Jimmy Carter had one of those, so don't count on Trump just dropping out after one term. But a 70 year old Condi could be quite interesting.
I just get the feeling that she won't actually run though.
Not to encourage you statists with your voting and your paved roads and whatnot
But
Speaking as someone who can at least appreciate the fact that you folks consider being president a job why in the world does it matter who does the job as long as they are the best one for it?
I never care who cuts my hair, puts the breaks on my car, or who cleans my teeth as long as they are the most qualified person I can find.
My obsession is with qualifications and ability not what's under your dress/pants/kilt/etc.
It seems the founding fathers deemed it necessary and was made law. It worked well through time until the politically correct liberals feel they have to change everything this country was founded on.
