The question that had come so close to fading into irrelevance is back: Will I ever see a woman elected president?
As Senator Elizabeth Warren became the fifth woman to exit the 2020 presidential race, women are coming to terms with the fact that, for the 244th straight year, the person America chooses to lead it in November will be a man.
For Democrats, the future is fraught as the race builds towards a showdown between former vice president Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders, which will then give way to a messy battle between the eventual nominee and President Donald Trump. But for some women, there’s a sense that attention must be paid to this reality: Baby girls born in the next four years will come into a country that is, in this single but significant way, identical to the one that existed in 1776.
It’s not that Warren is perfect, the women interviewed for this piece said. It’s that women have never, ever been treated as equal. After 45 male leaders, maintaining the pretense that gender has little to do with a candidate’s chances just seems cruel. Until the final hours of the 2016 election, a woman president seemed like an inevitability. Now it feels almost impossible.
But even among people who recognize the enduring sexism women candidates face and will continue to face, there is impatience at the idea that Warren, or other women candidates, lose because of gender.
The language that many Warren fans—or women disappointed that the presidential race will boil down to two men—use often borrows from the lexicon of physical pain—“punch in the gut,” “hurt,” “weeping,” even “trauma.”

I guess they just count on morons voting democrat.
2016 Pics from the CDC office?
Hew own State appears mortified at her representing them, and Mass is very Liberal! She was an embarrassment and never lost an opportunity to highlight how wretched the left truly is.
Just boost Tulsi Gabbard. There is your woman candidate that apparently Democrat women are not supporting.
Would a Transgender man running as a woman count?? What Do you say, libtards who have gotten us where we are today?

Where’s my safe space and my comfy little blanket? Trump must be to blame.
I was even thinking of running for office—— until I broke a nail. By the time I was out of the nail salon the idea had passed. Back to crying.
One person’s dream is another person’s nightmare...
Indeed we will as soon as some competent women are nominated.
Given the jokes we’ve seen thus far, ‘tis logical to be depressed, but have hope, there are plenty of very talented and experienced females out there (none are liberal, of course).
;-)
I guess if I was voting for a woman and the nominee turned out to be Joe Biden I’d be depressed too.
“...the lexicon of physical pain—“punch in the gut,” “hurt,” “weeping,” even “trauma.”
Women outnumber men so I don’t see a reason for the whining. It is more than obvious a large majority of the folks do not believe any women are qualified.
Maybe we have finally learned a lesson....that competence counts. Obama was elected only because he was (half) Black and America has realized its mistake. I am of the strong opinion this Nation will not see another Black President in the next 2 generations.
Obama was a disaster and the pain from his mismanagement will be felt for years.
Just in ... Injuns commit mass suicide.
Stop being whiny, neurotic, emotional, dishonest, annoying and stupid then.
...a Siouxicide??...
The fact that it was Democrat voters who put a fork in Pocahontas’s campaign is something her defenders in the media will never acknowledge directly!
