‘There’s a Real Tension.’ Democrats Puzzle Over Whether a Woman Will Beat Trump
New York Times ^ | 01/05/2019 | Lisa Lerer and Susan Chira

The year of the woman and the midterm gains that followed electrified Democrats, who have eagerly promoted themselves as the party of diversity. That success has inspired some of the most powerful women in politics to consider running for president. And it has boosted expectations that the political calculus for women has changed in the last two years, and that gender could become an asset, even in a presidential contest. Mrs. Clinton, after all, won the popular vote by almost three million.

Yet at a time of ascendancy for women in the party, there’s a lingering doubt in some quarters about whether there is a risk involved in nominating a woman to take on President Trump, whom Democrats fervently want to unseat.

Can a woman beat Trump? They should ask if a Democrat can beat him.

Liberalism is a mental disease and the Marxist RATs are proving it 24/7; minute by minute.

They tried Carly, then the old battle axe. Like throwing marshmallows at a tank. You can’t scold people into voting for you.

NY Slimes already making excuses for “the Party of Diversity” nominating yet another man.

Wonder how Kamala and Gray Beaver like being thrown under the bus?

He will hit 400 electrol votes or more. They have a bunch of clown and will be blowing cash on eating each other and none of them have any substance.

The usual LIB lunatic division by groups. Who cares what sex the person is who runs? It should be someone who is a Patriot, believes in Sovereignty, believes in the Rule of law under the Constitution...ands someone who ISN'T a lunatic. That said...the LIBs/DIMs have NO ONE.

They built the roads.
They built the houses with indoor plumbing, heating and eletricity.
They invented personal computers.
Trains, planes and automobiles.
Life saving medicines.
Basically civilization.

The problem is men, particularly white men, is they are jerks.
Time for women to take over and show the world how its done?

The DEMs could put the worst candidate up for POTUS in 2020, and they would still pull at least 175 EVs. No chance Trump can get 400 EVs in 2020. Our country is too far gone right now. Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional.

When Trump declares an emergency on our southern border and spells it out as to why, including the weak arguments by the Dems against the Wall, he will insure his second term. It won’t matter who the Dems run.

I f they nominate Biden and he fails, the recriminations will be horrific.

If they nominate Harris and she fails, the recriminations will be horrific.

They have boxed themselves in with their excessive rhetoric about Trump. Since he is so horrific, the most radical Leftist should have no trouble convincing American voters she is better...right? :)

Trump will only need 270, not 400.

It’s nothing to do with “female”. The Dimbulbcrats hopefully will not try: 1: A woman who has had some successes in her life (not due to quotas or being married to the right man). This eliminates Hillary and Pelosi-like bimbos.
2. An honest woman. This eliminates virtually all female democrat candidates. You listenin’ Princess Faux-A-Haunt-us?
3. An intelligent woman. Most of the women I’ve had the pleasure to know have been extremely smart. I’ve seen none to match this in liberal democrat female side. (We’ll not even go near “journalists”.

And yes, one can apply this to most (very near all) men out there. On both sides.

True

But the democrat machines in Milwaukee/Madison, Detroit and Philadelphia will make damsure that their states don’t make the same “mistake” they made in 2016

The Get-Out-The-Fraud push in Floriduh and Georgia will likely cause problems there, too

We have already seen that diversity and I believe it is turning many Americans away from these diverse nut-jobs. Calling The President a mf'er, publicly and proudly. Swearing in on a Koaran. Open Israel hating and borderline America hating. Bold new technological initiatives called for from a woman with the scientific expertise of a gnat. It's going to be a long and ugly two years.

That’s correct. The Rats have a lock on 175 EV’s. They stole a Governor, 2 Senators at least 20 House seats and countless important down ballot offices. NOTHING is being done about the vote harvesting BS. Kasich will probably run as a 3rd party spoiler. Trump’s 2nd term is a long way from certain.

I don’t know why the NYT says, “Democrats”...why don’t they just say, “we”?

I have, too, lost sleep wondering whether it will be Hitlery or Moochelle for their nominee. It will be one or the other with Beta as one VP and the other, Caramel Harris. Wow, if I find out which prescriptions Hitlery is on I may buy some stock.
