Opinion: Elizabeth Warren dropped out. It's going to be hard to stay hopeful about November.
NBC "News" ^ | March 5, 2020 | by Kera Bolonik

Once upon a time, it seemed possible that the Democratic Party would nominate a candidate who wasn't another older white man. Not anymore.

Is there a better time than the start of Women's History Month to tell women that the latest woman’s bid for the presidency is, well, history? We began the race for the Democratic nomination with a record six women candidates, and now we’re down to - well, not counting the unviable, unreliable Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D- Hawaii, who was always less likely to win this thing than anyone but Marianne Williamson - zero.

Remember that one flickering moment on Nov. 6, 2018, feeling something akin to hope, when 125 women were elected to office? It came on the heels of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton having earned nearly 3 million more people's votes than Donald Trump in the presidential election; a woman winning the White House had been within reach if not for the Electoral College. Many voters - not just women - appeared excited by the prospect of putting a woman in the Oval Office, like it was the perfect antidote to the misogyny of the alleged-sexual-harasser-in-chief.

That's why the erasure of Warren - the smartest, most thoughtful and arguably best candidate for the presidency, with a plan for damn near everything - stings so much.

Voters have spoken, and we’re marching backward because - didn’t you know - now is not the time to select a woman to run against an unpopular, corrupt and impeached president. We need a fella for that.

“Hey, Kera, Lizzy Warren couldn’t even appeal to your fellow DemocRATs. What makes you think that she’d fare any better in the general election?”

Kera may have to think a while on that one.

Basically, the Clintons and obamas crushed any viable up and coming dem politicians in the last 15 years, men AND girls.

Once upon a time it seemed impossible that the Dims would nominate a person who can’t complete a coherent thought. At the next debate they should ask Biden to recite “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.” Everyone of a certain age had to memorize that in school.

Klobo really messed up “The Patriarchy did it” narrative when she beat Warren in NH. :-)

A meritocracy dictates that although many enter the race, only the fittest survive. I love how dhimmicrats stand this principle on its head and then bemoan their lot in life when it fails them.

... yeah. I hope the Trump campaign uses that clip of Biden being asked how many genders there are, and he says “at least three.”

Hey Kera, why don’t you go into the kitchen and make me a sandwich and when you get back maybe I’ll mansplain to you why the fake Injun didn’t have a chance.
