Kelly Ripa says it’s “depressing,” but she doesn’t expect to see a woman in the White House in her lifetime.

“This goes regardless of political affiliation: Women have to deal with so much bulls‑‑‑ in every facet of life,” Ripa said on her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast released Wednesday.

“But when it comes to politics, take that and put it to the 100th power,” the “LIVE with Kelly and Mark” host said.

Women in politics, Ripa said, “Have to be tough, but not too tough. They have to look good, but not too good. They can’t be emotional, but they can’t be cold. Or they’re too strong or not strong enough. Or what if she gets her period — will she launch a nuclear weapon?”

Who cares. It is people who become POTUS. Not women/men/black/white etc. Margaret Thatcher excelled based on he abilities. It matters not a whit that she was a woman.

[Right Brother]

Making gender the primary qualification for President is a typical ‘woman’ opinion. Emotion trumping reason. So Yes, the 19th was a grave error. Ever since it’s ratification, the country has slowly deteriorated. My beautiful wife agrees.

Compared to Abbott and De Santis, she’s just at trivial daughter

[rlmorel]

Lol, a vodka soaked old hag already ran and failed!

Two females I'll vote for if they're American. Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher.

So far I like Giorgia Meloni. She's still in her honeymoon so time will tell.

[No name given]

Or Nikki Haley, for that matter.

[patriot torch]

but according to LIEdens SC nominee, she can’t even define the term “woman”

[MinorityRepublican]

It matters not a whit that she was a woman.

Exception to the rule. Women are emotional creatures. Men are logical creatures. We have different strengths. I wouldn't vote for a woman to be the POTUS unless she's an extraordinary person.

[null and void]

Yup.

Popcorn anyone?

[Alvin Diogenes]

I hope our first female President is an American version of Margaret Thatcher!

[broken_clock]

Or Nikki Haley, for that matter.

Nikki Haley was ok as UN Ambassador but I will never vote for her for anything.

[Huskrrrr]

Run a Trans-woman. Problem solved.s/

What's a "Kelly Ripa"?

Is it fat, or just stupid?

Sorry for being so out-of-touch.

[broken_clock]

I hear good thing about Sarah Sanders from friends who live in Arkansas. Time will tell. Have you seen something she has done that would make you think twice about her?

[john drake]

Uh, who cares what Ms. Ripa has to say about anything. Really. Who cares.

[Jonty30]

From what I know, she was also ok as Governor.

[BenLurkin]

Wbonis Kelly Rippa?

[broken_clock]

Uhh, until she began the removal of all the Confederate statues.

[EEGator]

Used to do the morning tv show with Regis, then Michael Strahan, now I don’t know.

Oh, the poor dearies. It sounds so hard. Maybe they should step aside and let men handle the politics so they don’t have to worry about such considerations?
