Just stop. Hilary Clinton is not a viable option. Kamala Harris may or may not be the Democrat default candidate if Biden does not run for re-election for whatever reason, but somehow this poll strikes me the wrong way as if the first female president will necessarily be extraordinarily flawed. I for one do not accept that the country's first female president will be elected in such a cynical or partisan manner. I hope to be welcoming in President Haley or another fine female candidate without the baggage of the candidates suggested here. Men don't have to overcome the fact that there have been a large number of poor predecessors representing their gender, why should women?

The first of anything tends to set the standards for those who follow, at least for a while. George Washington is widely respected as having set a high tone for the presidency. John F. Kennedy put to rest a lot of anti-Catholic prejudice with the way he served as president. Rightly or wrongly, a lot of pressure is going to be placed on whoever our first woman president ends up being. For the sake of women following in her footsteps, I hope that she does the office proud.

Neither, but if I had to choose, it would be Hillary.

She has a lot of baggage and negative traits, but she isn't a complete idiot. Kamala is.

We do not need a female, black, white, gay, straight, or any other tyoe of descriptor of any President outside of good, strong, and competent.
Those are the qualifiers.
Agreed 100%. Unfortunately Woke America does not see it that way.

It's important that when we get a female President, it's at least a decent one. Every other female politician that would make a WH run would be compared to her afterwards, regardless of party. You don't want to hear "I don't want another President Harris".

If i had to choose Hillary Clinton i am not a democrat if anything but i think she would've made a better president than Biden.

If Kamala can't handle the VP tasks she would make a terrible president.


I wish we could amend the constitution and let Winsome Sears run for president. Condoleezza Rice would be a good choice but she's too tied with George W Bush.

What kind of question is that?


Kamala, hands down!


The problem with Hillary Clinton is she knows what she is doing, how to do it, and how not to be seen.

How about a great candidate who happens to be born male but identifies as a female/transgender and eschews the label of male? Would that appease hysterical, bigotted liberal activists?


Instead, let's consider this: First female President Tulsi Gabbard!
