As a woman, and this is dangerous to admit, but, with few exceptions, women tend to be especially poor at politics. Marsha Blackburn, Joni Ernst, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders notwithstanding, it's just not in most women's natural skill set to bring large numbers of people together for the civic good. Most of the women in politics are ego maniacs with poor ethics. (That's probably true of most men, too, but there are more men who have true skills and stamina for national leadership.) It's not about intellect, but something more about the way leadership is done. Women are pretty good at small groups, but it just doesn't translate well at a national level. Besides that, stamina is really critical in a campaign and in the White House, and men do that much better.
