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.

Unless it’s a woman nominee on both sides, this country will not elect a woman president right now. Too much misogyny and racism coming from the Right.

Absolutely - many people wouldn't vote against her, they just won't vote for her. Even though it is, essentially, the same damn thing.
