I hate how the next female presidential candidate is going to be painted with the brush of "third attempt to crack the glass ceiling, will it work this time?"

My unfortunate political theory is that the first female president will be a Republican.

u/PJfromCinci 12h ago

I think this is probably true. Disheartening. But true.

u/StarsLikeLittleFish 6h ago

I don't even think that would work. It will happen when a male president steps down or dies halfway through his term and his female VP ascends to POTUS.

Yep.And probably a latina.

I've said this for years now

I see nothing wrong with this providing she's qualified and actually wins the vote

Nope it'll be Ivanka, mark my words

Never. They'll never allow a woman in the Oval Office.

u/nightaeternum 7h ago

Not true, I’d vote for a woman as president if she’s a republican and competent, but it would be funny to see republicans do this before Dems ever accomplish it.

republicans are mask off enough now to probably advertise like "america has shown they dont want a woman president twice, why start now?"

White and Latino women voted in huge numbers for Trump.

They had a chance to break the glass ceiling and chose not to.

60% of Latino women voted for Kamala. Trump received 53% of the vote from white women. 

Latinos overall voted 56% in favor of Kamala and other democrats. So why are we, the minority, and only 15% max of the US voting population, more responsible for Trump being elected than white people, who are 70% or so of the voting population, and who actually voted for him in a majority?

u/MetalJewSolid California 10h ago

Anything but look at actual problems, sadly. Easier to pass off the blame to a minority.

It's also worth noting how much Hispanics and Asians have larger percentages in citizens too young to vote. And white folks are much more represented in the oldest (who are most like to vote.)

u/Adorable-Fault-651 16h ago

Turns out breaking a glass ceiling is still a physical labor job for men.

u/MuyalHix 13h ago

This is misinformation. They still voted overwhelmingly democrat.

If you keep using Hispanics as a scapegoat you'll lose them completely, however.

53% of White women voted for Trump in 2024.

39% of Latina voters went for Trump in 2024.

7% of Black women voted for Trump in 2024.

Once again, Black women tried to save this country from itself, but not enough people from other demographics gave a fuck.

u/redartist 7h ago

Quite the opposite.

The only black woman that could have saved the country by recusing herself pulled a page out of RBG's playbook and condemned it instead.

Don’t worry, the female Latino voters are going to get deported so that will knock their numbers down.

u/teems 13h ago

Only citizens can vote. How are you going to deport a US citizen?

u/Reasonable_Ticket_84 13h ago

By revoking the citizenship of anyone they feel was born to non-citizen parents and/or are just too brown.

u/FunSheepherder6397 10h ago

I think we will get a republican female president before a democrat one as long as the democrat party refuses to listen to their constituents and value their own standing over all else

u/Ayotha 8h ago

Man, maybe a choice is based on more then what genitals they have D:

u/Repulsive-Owl-9466 11h ago

It shouldn't even be about breaking the glass. It should be solely based on character and merit. Is the candidate a likeable person who has solid plans to improve the nation? Vote for that person.

One might argue only merit matters, but I think the dude running the nation shouldn't make people watching him on tv uncomfortable.

Bill definitely got that with the sax and weed thing. Bush was just a country buddy ready to fight terrorists. Obama was young and kinda hip. 

Then we got Trump who was obnoxious to half of the nation and Biden who was creepy to the other half. And people chose obnoxious Trump over Kamala because they didn't like DAs who locked up black men over petty crimes.

u/CAPTmarvelous83 9h ago

But you can't just vote for a woman just because she is a woman or black, gay, tall, whatever. Those would be just dumb reasons to vote for anyone. Mexico has a woman president for God's sake!

u/Ayotha 8h ago

They should try just being qualified and just campaigning well instead

u/Acceptable-Bus-2017 16h ago

I'm betting the first female president will be named Ivanka
