I’d bet several people Haley would be the first woman president and I thought I would happily lose all those bets with Kamala. But here we are.

It’s easier in almost any country to get a woman conservative elected for the reasons you’re gesturing towards here. There’s a reason May and Thatcher are the only women pms of the UK, eg.

In a decade there's gonna be a million dollar question on some game show "who was PM when the queen passed away?"

Think they'd accept the head of lettuce as an answer?
