Me too. I voted for McCain because of her.

Democrats were relieved to learn that they did not have a male candidate, either. Fairness has prevailed.

Gotta love all this “poor women” navel gazing over the Dem field this year. Do these dopes remember the real misogyny that the Dems heaped on Sarah Palin in 2008?

The last time we picked an “affirmative action” candidate for President just to make everyone feel good, it didn’t work out so well.

So nominate a competent, qualified woman who isn’t an ideological Marxist, otherwise forget it.

With international media bringing up the question it will not be long before USA media does the same.

In the past two weeks completely organic non coordinated media ignited the groundswell for Been to overcome Fidel Biden.

And that same unbiased information channel will begin the organic Frye for a woman on the Democratic ticket.

Who could that be?

As Hillary has a new book tour, is showing up on night time shows, and no mention of her political aspirations begin.

Biden/ Clinton Nov 2020

Clinton / ? Feb 2021

Why the sexist viewpoints? I mean, are they claiming men cannot do as good a job?

America needs a Male President. No Female will ever have the Personality, Emotional Stability or Commitment to be America President.

It is more subtle today, but Warren is right, there is still sexism.

Oh, baloney. Warren is an infinitely unlikable and annoying woman with extreme left-wing views. Democrats turned their backs on her - that's how extreme and unlikable she is. Trying to blame that on sexism is pathetic.

This is such nonsense.

The U.S. has become a Matriarchy in all but name.

It is just the American women like to vote in men to do their dirty work.

Just look at television commercials, which routinely show men as helpless idots, who refuse to do what the wise woman in their life tell them to.

Look at affirmative action for women, which make up over half the U.S. population.

Why the rush for a female candidate?

I thought the race was for QUALIFIED candidates, not just female, or black(we had one of those.) candidates. Can the Dems field a QUALIFIED candidate no matter what race or sex?

Your DEMOCRAT party, ladies and gentlemen! The tolerant, sensitive yet apparently still sexist Lefties!

But, folks, you TRIED a female nominee and she failed miserably. Don’t blame Republicans. Blame the Dems.

Trump should wear a dress and self identify as female for one day.

That ploy didn't work for Mayor Butt-Fudge.....

As far as I’m concerned it can keep on going on. Other than Thatcher I can’t think of a single female leader that was worth anything. Even so called conservatives like Merkel and May were utter disasters!

Women are more likely to rule with their hearts than their brains.

Nothing against women, but leadership role is not their Forte.

As Elizabeth Warren said so poignantly, if American girls are looking for a role model in the Oval Office, they will have to wait another four years. What happened to diversity?

When a good, qualified woman candidate puts her hat in the ring, she'll have an advantage over men. So far, no good, qualified women have run. Geraldine Ferraro, cut me a break. Hillary the criminal with no life-long accomplishments except for marrying Bill Clinton?

Elizabeth Warren who wanted to spend over 100 trillion over 10 years for Medicare for all including illegals, Green New Deal, free college tuition including current student loan forgiveness, free 12-week family leave, etc., etc. etc. We spend almost $5 trillion a year now, and only take in $4 trillion and she wants to add another $10 trillion per year in spending. Is it any wonder she didn't even win her own state? Even the Libtards aren't that crooked/stupid. Note to Liz: It wasn't misogyny, your policies were crap, your have no likable personality, you screech when you preach, and no offense, but you're no looker.

By rights she should be in the top tier at this stage. But this issue of electability kept tripping her up.

What tripped her up and made her a losing candidate is the same thing that's going to keep Sanders from getting the nomination; you can't offer incredibly detailed promises on how you going to give everything to everyone without having a rational explanation on how you are going to pay for it. They should learn from past Republican and Democrat candidates and make crazy and unworkable promises but keep them vague and offer only meaningless explanations where the money will come from.

Gender played little if any role in Warren’s non-support for the presidency - it was her message. She tried to out-Bernie, Bernie; and that’s a no-no!

Gabbard is just as bad as the rest of them, just packaged better which does not impress me one bit
