Tulsi Gabbard has many distinctive qualities. She's a Hawaiian Army National Guard Major, the first Hindu member of Congress and the first Samoan-American voting member of Congress but she is not going to be president of the United States.
She is not even going to be the Democratic Party's nominee for the presidency.
(Given that Gabbard met President Bashir al Assad of Syria in 2017, after his forces had bombed Aleppo to smithereens and failed to condemn him, it's pretty extraordinary that she is still in the Democratic race at all.)
No, she won't be America's first female president.
And, this time around, nor will any other woman.
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?
The Democrats started this race, way back when Neanderthals still roamed the Earth it sometimes feels like, with a host of non-white, non-male candidates. One by one they dropped out.
If you want change in America in 2020, it seems, you are better off going with a white man in his 70s.
Warren referred to sexism in her farewell address. It's not the same sexism Hillary Clinton encountered when she first ran in 2008.
Back then souvenir shops sold nutcrackers in the model of the woman who'd both been a successful secretary of state and a US senator - if you're a successful woman, they implied, you must a ball-cracker too.
"Men beware" was the none-too-subtle message. Nor is it the sexism of the pointless, largely unflattering discussion of Clinton's trousers suits.
It is more subtle today, but Warren is right, there is still sexism.

Yeah, the ones using the smaller brain in their pants
I will say it a little differently. Yes, she is a crazed libtard just like the rest of them. But her delivery is more measured, more articulate, more rational, less emotional and less annoying. She just wasn’t one of the anointed and the Rats did not give her the time of day. She may give us some trouble down the road.
Look at the picture of her with what she believes in and runs on and then tell me that other than most “appealing” she in nothing less than one of them
I use my brain and read what the say, reminds me of my ex wife he in the beginning was good looking but over time it did not wear well
I wish her new husband the best, he is gonna need it
Be careful what you ask for, You may just get it and she is the same as the others
Choose...
But do so wisely
Why the wait for a female US president goes onHopefully forever.
Her success as Secretary of State was in monetizing the office--the Clinton Foundation benefited, the country and the world did not. As senator she got a few post offices named. That was about it.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Regarding Tulsi Gabbards agenda, patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific powers to deal with most of these issues.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
All that Gabbards agenda is going to do is to unconstitutionally expand the already unconstitutionally big federal governments powers.
Remember in November!
MAGA, now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
Because America need a doer not an emoter.
Oh Dear Katty Kay....why is it so hard to understand that gender and skin color are irrelevant. Not for me, nor anyone I know. ( except some lib women I know who would never vote for a white man who keeps women barefoot and pregnant )
As long as she is not a Repub.
Because no one wants pissed off, unattractive and permanently entitled bitches in the White House?
The nation needs a good President. This sexist attitude of these useless leftists is pathetic and disgusting. What sexist pigs.
This constant box-checking by the left simply proves their racism and sexism. There will eventually be a woman president once one runs that can gain the publics support. That woman will likely be a Republican...
...but then again, I thought the first black president would be, too.
“Why the wait for a female US president goes on...”
There never will be one on the democrat side as long as they keep bringing up the filthy sludge they’ve been doing.
She's hot...and that's it!
“Why the wait for a female US president goes on..”
We’ll consider a democrat woman if they ever put an actual woman up and not some filthy communisit/socialist man-hating, white-hating, gun-hating, snarling, loudmouthed, obnoxious, castrating, America hating harridan posing as a woman. In other words...never!
Warren is the poster-girl for Koro syndrome.
d":^)
It is quite simple to me, what are the things she is behind and promoting?
Virtually all the same nonsense that the other libs are, Government running almost everything
Certainly she is more articulate and less strident in her delivery, but the message is the same
Just in a more “attractive” package
Not to me
