Are you being sarcastic?

Theresa May is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Helle-Thorning Schmidt was Prime Minister of Denmark from 2011 to 2015
Erna Solberg has been Prime Minister of Norway since 2013
Julia Eileen Gillard was the 27th Prime Minister of Australia from 2010 to 2013,
Read what you wrote. Were either of those officials ever a President? Hint, they were Prime Ministers. Those countries are all monarchies and thus don't use a President for holding the reserve powers. You're the one being sarcastic.

Liberals are for affirmative action, so it makes sense that they think being a woman is a qualification

Hillary Clinton could've easily won this past election if she'd had her campaign and message together, but she rejected the populism that Trump was smart enough to jump all over. She was trying to be too middle of the road instead of acting like a damn Democrat. We're a liberal party...BE A DAMN LIBERAL. Say that we're getting out of the wars, bringing our troops home, getting healthcare for all Americans, allowing Americans to buy their medicines from Canada, negotiating prescription costs for Medicare, starting up a major public works project for infrastructure across America, investing more money into public education, ending the drug war and decriminalizing drugs on the federal level, etc, etc...

Enough with Democrats that pretend to be Republicans.
Good post.

It looks like Hillary is already started bribing\threatening any democrats that even think they might try for the 2020 nomination so looks like voters will once again get to choose between her and whomever the republican nominee is.

I'm all for electing a female to be president. Ill vote for one in a heart beat. Just not a corrupt sell out like Clinton. For example, If Nikki Haley ran I would vote for her. Condoleezza Rice I would vote for. Tulsi Gabbard would get my vote.
Boxer, Pelosi, Waters,Warren? Not a chance
Men who would never get my vote:
Jeb Bush
Cruze
Trump
Casey
Biden

No problem with having a women for president but it's not going to be Hillary or Palin.

The desperation of Democrats to elect a woman president might cause them to make sure the nominee in 2020 is female above anything else
We might be the last. Why don't democrats, if they are so worried about it, put forward an electable candidate?

Thing is, men and women naturally are into different things. Much as the guys google memo pointed out. It makes evolutionary sense men have been leader types. Though even when we do get female leaders whether they be politicians or bosses in business, they are pretty much always narcissistically crazy. Now I know you'll say "well, men can be to" sure, but at least there is some fluctuation. Women that go for and end up in high-level positions are pretty much universally crazy.

If there is anyone who meets the definition of narcissistically crazy it is our current Groper-In-Chief.
