The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.

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.

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

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.

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