Michelle didn’t want Obama to run, while the girls were so young. He went ahead. Trump was born because of Obama. He started his birthright blather and then Obama and Seth Myers made fun of him. Ergo, if Obama would have waited, we wouldn’t be here today.


+100000

Dems got it wrong in the 2008 Primary. We by-passed someone who was more qualified and in their prime for a person who had just begun their political journey and had a 20 year window of guaranteed to be POTUS one day. Then the DNC manipulation that determined who could and couldn't be nominee reared it's ugly head in 2016 and 2020. Here we are paying the price for these missteps by enduring a second term of the worst POTUS ever.

We'll be back in the high life again. All the doors we closed one time, will open up again.



This is one helluva stretch of speculative fiction.


+1. People vote for who they want to vote for. By now we should realize that qualifications are not that important to Americans. An HRC presidency could have led to Trump as well (backlash just like the Obama backlash).

The OP is a sexist crack head. The first woman POTUS will be POTUS because she is the best person for the job at the time she seeks the position. Being the best person for the job at the time you seek the position isn't always a guarantee of victory (just ask HRC about 2008) but eventually the odds will fall in the favor of the best person for the job.

Respectfully, I disagree with OP. I think the first female president will be a Democrat. I cannot imagine the same party that chose Trump as their leader would support a woman candidate.

It wouldn’t have mattered because racist Trump wouldn’t have run for president. We may have had another GOP, but it wouldn’t be Trump. Then Obama would hang easily won in 2016.


Yep, Obama would have won easily at any point in time between 2008 and 2024. It would have been best for the country if his time had come a little later than 2008. Learn from mistakes is the best we can do.

Yup. She did the job for a while there.

And no, I don’t think the first female president will be republican. You are not paying attention. They want women to be trad wives and don’t even want them voting. They certainly don’t want a woman worrying her pretty little head over nuclear codes.

This....we live in a misogynistic country.....they want handmaids tale. We are living in a constitutional crisis. WAKE UP!!!!!!

I hope so. Meloni is tough as nails.

Dang right! That scenario wasn't an assumption of an HRC victory in 2012 but no doubt an HRC loss in 2012 would have left us with a normal GOP POTUS until January 2017 when a seasoned and primed juggernaut Obama would have taken over until January 2025. I understand how some Americans were conned into MAGA in 2016 but it's difficult to imagine Trump being taken seriously enough to get his movement started if it was starting at 77 years old.

A lot to ponder about the past. The best we can do is learn from it and not repeat mistakes.

I would have too. HRC was 10x the POTUS candidate Biden was. We saw this very clearly when they went head to head in 2008. Circumstance as they were, Biden was gifted a presidential term by Trump, HRC had POTUS terms stolen by Obama and Trump.
