You know what the best answer would be:

A: Oh great, the media is now pursuing a question that people care about even less than climate change. Let’s make this a question that I don’t answer, except to comment that this is a trivial waste of all our valuable time, including those listening in that want to hear us discussion the issues that concern them the most.

There are few women who stand out to me. If I had my choice, I'd put Ronda Rousey on a bill.

She's a pioneer, a warrior, a good role model, and a beautiful woman. I admire her very much.

“Then came the worst. Jeb Bush proposed Margaret Thatcher.”

What that before or after he said “I smoked pot - sorry mom”?

I think the two might be connected.

When the Brit’s heard about this the dollar rose against the pound.

How about Wonder Woman? Or am I limited to cis-real women?

Hey! i mentioned Molly Pitcher, when the question was first posed on FR! I still stand with that answer. A true daughter of the revolution, too.

...showed a lack of appreciation or knowledge of what women have done as leaders in this country....

Shut up, Betsy. It was a stupid question, and you know it. There have not been a whole lot of women “leaders”.

Sole intent of the question was to trip someone up and add to the “war on women” nonsense.

And you know dang well that as soon as the left gets its way with putting a woman on the currency, they’ll insist on some homo or some other pervert on another bill.

Yup. We should hold the line. It’s not like we all don’t already know that it’s next in line. Of course it’s the least disagreeable aspect of dispossession of white males that’s being presented first. How about we print some twenty-five dollar bills and put Annie Oakley on them? She was for the conventional wisdom of her time and even against the suffragettes. And she sure shot straight.

Leave Alexander Hamilton alone. If it must be a woman, I’d be OK with Molly Pitcher (Mary Ludwig).

I agree with Harriet Tubman 1000%. Why Hollywood has never made a major movie about her is just boggling. Talk about nerves of steel, and putting your life on the line to save others! But we’d rather see a woman who rode a bus...really?
