Some female Dem voters question whether a woman should face Trump in 2020

Is a woman a shoo-in to win the Democratic nomination and take on President Trump in 2020? Some women in three states that could make or break White House hopes aren't so sure.

“I want to be for a woman, but it’s just hard when you see a lot of other people not supporting women yet. I feel that America’s just not there yet,” Wendy McVey, a 20-year-old junior at Iowa State University, told The Associated Press. At the moment, the candidate McVey is most interested in is former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke.

Women are among the Democratic Party’s most energized and engaged voters, accounting for more than half the electorate in the 2018 midterms. Democrats sent a historic number of women to Congress last year and have a record number of women running for president, including Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

But the Oval Office has been elusive and given Democrats’ deep desire to oust Trump, some don’t want to take any chances with their nominee. Some fear a repeat experience of Hillary Clinton's surprise loss to Trump in 2016. Others cite their own experiences with sexism and discrimination.

Maybe a trans woman first?

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. So, instead of a woman, the DNC should nominate Hillary again.

i’d like to see Biden run w/a female VP. The gaffe-gropes would be hilarious.

Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

None of these women are Presidential.
The first one isn’t even eligible.

Biden sez:

“Madame Vice President...have you ever wanted to sit at the Resolute Desk? Yes? OK...but let’s take it in baby steps. First, I want you to bend over the Resolute Desk. That’a girl...”

“it’s just hard when you see a lot of other people not supporting women yet”

I suppose people like Sarah Palin or cut from the same cloth as Margaret Thatcher don’t count in her mind as “women”.

"Some fear a repeat experience of Hillary Clinton's surprise [??? emphasis added] loss to Trump in 2016."

Out-of-touch Democrats and RINOs still don’t accept that eight years of lawless Obama and corrupt Congress made Trump’s winning the Oval Office inevitable imo.

MAGA!

IMO, a woman should get the same chance as a man to “get the floor wiped up” with her on Election Day 2020.

It is my opinion that NO DimocRAT has a chance of defeating DJT, regardless of how many million dollars that “George Soros & Company” wastes on the race.

I agree. Why don’t Dems give Hillary another/a fair chance - she could easily beat Trump with people wised up now to his cheating ways. GO HILLARY!!

Wendy, babe....

You were too young when many of us voted for Sarah Palin, a woman, to be president...
