Can our country ever elect a woman POTUS? [View all]

If so, what about a Whitmer/Murphy ticket?

If not, what about a Murphy/Whitmer ticket?

Chris Murphy is my Senator. He's great (and he didn't go to Yale!).

Gov. Whitmer is more than capable for the highest office in the land. But at this point, I despair that we can't seem to elect qualified women POTUS.

I don't see Trump even getting near to claiming he can run again. And even if the GOP ran him anyway, by that time he will have screwed this country so badly that only the craziest of the crazies will vote for him. That is, unless he dies from something brought on by his abysmal diet, dementia, or advanced STDs going untreated.

At any rate, that's my thought for today.!
