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.

Would not want to be Lizzie’s husband tonight.

Or any other night under hurled missile alert.

I am hopeful that President Trump will win and liberals will take the only honorable thing that they have which is to off themselves.

Bill Clinton put lots of women in the Oval Office. The left loves him.

Yeah, Hillary ‘earned’ those votes.

She went to the Vote Store and worked so hard to get them.
