And, again, it's someone who didn't really rise to the position by merit either.
I'm starting to think the first woman president will be on the right just because they'll have actual (metaphorical) balls to push through bullshit.
The first woman president will be forced on us in an election where both candidates end up being female. That's the only way it will ever happen. That's why she's leeching off the Biden ticket.
Maybe. But the left seems to forget their very public freakout and even sexual objectification of Sarah Palin during her VP bid with McCain -- even as they brag about running a woman VP.
I'm still in the camp that Trump won't win this November. It's definitely not that I don't want him to, but more that the Democrats have such deathgrip control of all institutes of power that I can't see them losing. There isn't a doubt in my mind that they will openly exploit, cheat, and lie during the election in order to achieve the results they want.
Hell, they have every big tech company in their back pocket -- how could they fail?
You may as well ask the same of 2016 and that didn't pan out.
For me, I give Trump better odds even with fuckery.
What gets Gramps more afeared? The abstract fear of Donny getting a 2nd term or the realer fear of riots and marxists?
It's a tough conclusion to reach either way. I hate sounding like some doomer when I predict some shenanigans, but I think in 2016 it was more of a joke by people on the left; they legitimately thought he had no chance in hell. Fast-forward 4-years and I'm pretty sure this time they're taking it really serious -- them allowing riots, murders, and looting, as well as purposely attempting to tank the entire economy -- or even withholding support for the police in order to put the public in a state of fear -- elucidates their very clear intent this time around. Corruption and a "by any means necessary" mentality is now concomitant to their existence; at least until many more moderate liberals come out and openly admonish their methods.
But that's a whole different can of worms. Can moderate liberals really excoriate their own party members for their extremist views? Are they willing to do what is right, even if it costs their "team" an election? I've seen a few -- hell, I was even one myself up until 5 or 6-years-ago, but I'm not sure the rest are willing to call them out. At least, not in the way the right will openly condemn and denigrate the far-right.
2016 was a different time. Nobody in the cathedral genuinely thought Trump had a snowball's chance. All the polling was in Hill-dawg's favor. They didn't think they'd actually HAVE to resort to cheating and election fraud to win. The cathedral has learned, and they aren't going to leave it up to the people this time.
The 2018 midterms were a trial run in election stealing. Look up ballot harvesting (aka having Democrat agents delivering large chunks of ballots they "collected" from voters' homes).

Everyone (except you, apparently) knows that if you put a Democrat in the White House in November, the protests and the riots will stop. It is just known, just as it is known that putting a BLM or Antifa sign in your restaurant window will keep you from getting "mostly peacefully protested."
I don't follow the parties so much, so I wouldn't know.
Even if there were a woman who'd have the fortitude, they'd get zero airtime and exposure since it doesn't fit the 'republicans bad' narrative.
Nikki Haley (former Governor of South Carolina and former UN Ambassador in Trump's administration) is the one that gets the most attention. She's not the worst, but there's better male candidates imo.
I don't think there's really any other female Republican viable for 2024 right now. There's some that could probably rise to being viable to at least run by then like Senators Joni Ernst, Martha McSally and Kelly Loeffler, Representative Elise Stefanik and Governor Kristi Noem, but I don't know.
Carly Fiorina ran against Trump in 2016 for the Republican nomination, and a lot of people think Nikki Haley's going to run in 2024 (this is by no means an endorsement of EITHER of them).
Like someone else said, non-liberal women don't get a lot of media screentime, and when they do they're generally treated as "gender traitors". Like the way the media treats Trump's female press secretaries (Sara Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany).

Fiorina is best known for running Hewlett-Packard into the ground.
As someone else said above, the first affirmative action president.
