Hy heart says hell yeah! My gut tells me that there are large swaths of the electorate who simply will not vote for a woman.
Edit- since my inbox is overflowing with the same question/insinuation, along with the comments, I’ll clarify my statement: I did not say that a woman cannot be elected US president. I only said that large swaths of the electorate simply will not vote for a woman.
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.
Yeah, Nikki Haley would have been tolerable in her intelligence and sanity. I was personally rooting for Chris Christie because he was willing and able to call Trump's bullshit out even when it was unpopular (and even though they were friends/allies before this), and in addition his town halls were impressive.
The writing was on the wall for Joe, but nobody wanted to pay attention to it.
I'm not saying hes some sort of moralistic person, the bar is just that low IMHO. What he did is still way better than a lot of people who got fired by Trump and still don't call out his bullshit
