The United States has an abysmal record on women in politics. As of last spring, just 20 percent of national-level seats were held by women, and the local numbers are just as bad.

Drag a $100 Bill through a Trailer Park in D.C.?
There’s a major election going on right now chez Hammer.
All candidates welcome.
My wife and I argue which Constitutional Amendment set in train the eventual downfall of the Republic. I say it was the 17th. She says it was the 19th.
“The person that gets elected should be there for their character and merits”
Well then, I mean, certainly Hitlery should have been elected, as she is undoubtedly qualified. /s/
Seriously, close to half the voting public does not agree with that statement. It’s just sad how far into the sewer the establishment has gotten us since the 90’s.
I think we just have too many people in politics over all. Less govt means there should be less people in politics.
We need fewer women in politics of the kind we have... ignorant, socialist, emotional, rent-seeking. On the other hand, it’s a shame that Phyllis Schlafley never was put in a significant position. She would have been great president.

Bingo! We have a winner....
Drag Bill through a Trailer Park in D.C. and see what latches on.
Agree. Well said.

This is just sexist, assuming things about women as one big monolithic demographic.
100% agree!
The females might get more seats in the House and Senate if they would start supporting Conservative women instead of feminists.
I don’t know anything but I would like to see more honest politicians elected from an informed electorate. No mater what their race, creed or gender.
She is correct.
More groupthink crap. No wonder we’re circling the bowl.
