[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Joe Kennedy.

Biden is too old.

Bernie is too old, not a real Dem, and has baggage.

Hilary is too old, a girl, and has way too much baggage.

Cory Booker sounds like a Repub on many issues. If you've heard him speak at conferences (I have, numerous times), he sounds like he's spinning because he can't articulate clear solutions/strategies.

Warren is equipped, but she would be crucified. America isn't ready for a lady president. Period.

People love Tammy, Kamala and Gillibrand, but I don't see it. Smart and articulate? Absolutely. Charismatic Alpha males? Nope. And that's what it ultimately comes down to: charismatic alpha male.

Joe Kennedy is our best bet. Sure, he will have to deal with critics who call him a rich boy from a political dynasty. But I feel like he has the street smarts and ability to deflect any attack in a strong way. We need a fighter. I think he can do it. [/quote]

First of all - you're calling Hillary "a girl"?  Wow.  I keep hearing, only from liberals, that a female candidate would never win because "America isn't ready."  I think that's BS.  I find it interesting that only liberals keep saying this, as if it's fact.  And they're clearly basing this on HRC losing the last election.  What you won't admit is that HRC didn't lose because she is a woman.  She lost for so many other reasons, that have been laid out ad nauseum but which none of you will acknowledge.  It seems liberals are the worst sexists of all.

I would absolutely vote for a female candidate, but not [i]because[/i] she is female.  Nikki Haley or Susan Collins would get my vote, if they ran.  But of course, they're not Democrats.

I'm flippantly calling her a girl to underscore my frustration with our misogynistic society.

Question: are your liberal friends who say America isn't ready for a female president women? Because...no offense, Buddy...us girls have a better sense of how America treats women than our male counterparts.

And yes, everyone realizes that HRC was far from the perfect candidate. But does that mean she should lose to Trump? Because, that's what happened. And you should ask yourself why that happened.

Nikki Haley??? Wowza. [/quote]

PP here.  Do you actually think I'm a man because I spoke the truth about why HRC lost?   :lol:  Sorry, no.  I'm a woman and frankly,[b] every woman I know[/b] - regardless of political affiliation - agrees that she lost due to her own failures, not due to her gender.  I think it's convenient for liberals to blame her loss on "sexism" because then you can continue putting anyone and everyone who didn't vote for her into your convenient little boxes of "racists" and "sexists".  Anything to promote your narrative that those who don't march in lockstep with liberals, in every way, are "Nazis".  This is why no one takes you seriously anymore.

Should she have lost to Trump?  Doesn't really matter - she *did* lose to him.  Yet none of you are willing to examine why that might be, and instead blame it on every possible excuse, other than squarely on her own shoulders - and those of you who, along with her, smugly believe you know what's good for the rest of the country.  Hasn't it occurred to you yet that you were wrong?  Very, very wrong?

And as for those I was referring to who claim America "isn't ready" for a female president - I'm talking about the many far-left liberals who populate [u]this site[/u].  Not anyone I know IRL.  It seems only here in DCUM-land are liberals so sure of themselves that they truly believe they know how the rest of the country is going to vote and why.  The hubris scale here is off the charts.
