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...

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,...

That can’t be — famed Native American candidate Elizabeth Warren is surging in the polls! I kid, I kid, but unfortunately the cycle’s biggest disappointment isn’t joking. Kamala Harris practically had the red carpet laid out for her when she entered the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, including a move by her home state to go early in the voting process. Instead of catching fire, Harris wasted a momentary polling burst in the early summer and now polls routinely in the second tier or below.

Former adviser to President Clinton Dick Morris said Sunday that Hillary Clinton most likely wants to get into the 2020 presidential race because she thinks “God put her on the Earth” to be president. Morris told John Catsimatidis on his radio show that the major question revolving around the 2020 election is whether “the ghost of Hillary Clinton” will enter the election. “My feeling is that she wants to,” Morris said. “She feels entitled to do it. She feels compelled to do it. She feels that God put her on the Earth to do it. But she’s hesitant because she...

Stacey Abrams announced she would not challenge Rep. Senator David Perdue for his seat next year. “I am announcing today that I will not be be a candidate for the U.S. Senate,” Abrams said in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday morning. “The fights to be wages require a deep commitment to the job, and I do not see the U.S. Senate as the best role for me in this battle for our nation’s future.” Abrams decision to drop out of consideration for a Senate seat raises speculation that she could still be planning on adding her name to the...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has no intention of being "Hillary'd" in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. That was the phrase, used as shorthand by a student asking about sexist attacks during a CNN town hall Monday night, that prompted Warren to recall her successful 2012 campaign to unseat Republican Sen. Scott Brown. It was a campaign, Warren said, that almost never happened. Democrats were telling her she ought to run, that she'd make a great senator. But there was a catch: Most of them were confident Warren would lose, and didn't mind telling her. "People said to me, you're...

What If You Launch a Presidential Campaign and No One Shows Up? Welcome to the worst 2020 kickoff rally in America. April 2, 2019 Daniel Greenfield 75 FrontPage Comments Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorismSenator Kirsten Gillibrand was going to launch her kickoff rally right in front of President Trump’s front door. “No other candidate has done something like this,” she bragged. “We’re rallying at Trump’s doorstep to send a message loud and clear: We’re together, we’re brave." By the time she...

After eight years of Donald Trump, Americans will certainly be ready for some 'radical' change. Donald Trump's shocking victory in the 2016 presidential race caused liberals across the United States to question whether the country was indeed ready for a woman president. Since then, there has been much speculation about various female politicians and celebrities running for office, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Kamala Harris, Oprah, Michelle Obama, and others. There have even been rumours that Hillary Clinton might run again. I, however, don't see any of these women making it to the White House. I think the first female...

Widely reported headline: “Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she will take ‘hard look’ at presidential run” - Sept. 29th CNN 2020 Democrats’ ranking:  "There's a new No 1 among 2020 Democrats." Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Kamala Harris rank first and second - Sept. 18thWho does President Trump think will be his 2020 opponent? Axios reported on Wednesday that Trump ‘“talks the most”’ about facing Sen. Elizabeth Warren and “’seems to think she’s going to be the nominee.’" In ancient pre-Trump political times, December 2014 to be exact, I penned a piece on a conservative site entitled Clinton/Warren 2016. It was prompted by Massachusetts Sen....

Bar some controversial choices, Melania Trump quickly and easily asserted herself as one of the most fashionable first ladies in America's history. Thanks to an unearthed video, we've discovered that's because 2016 wasn't the first time Melania was sworn into the White House. Back when she was Melanija Knavs, the future FLOTUS posed as the first female president of the US in a Slovenian fashion ad. In the low-budget shoot—with tragically '90s music—Melania disembarks 'Air Force One' and talks with reporters on the tarmac before being escorted by the Secret Service to be sworn in as president. (VIDEO-AT-LINK) The 23-year-old...

The mother of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that the 28-year-old democratic socialist aspires to eventually sit in the Oval Office. “Her aspiration is to be the president,” Blanca Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Post in a report published Thursday. “She has been thinking about politics since she was a teenager. She would read historical and political books old and new,” her mother said. “She would engage in political discussions passionately.” The 55-year-old mom and school secretary told the local publication she spent several days helping her daughter campaign against 10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) for New York’s 14th District congressional...

During an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, former FBI Director James Comey’s wife, Patrice, confessed that she supported Hillary Clinton and was “devastated” when Donald Trump won. “I wanted a woman president really badly, and I supported Hillary Clinton,” Patrice Failor Comey told Stephanopoulos. “A lot of my friends worked for her. And I was devastated when she lost.” James Comey admitted that his wife and girls all took part in the Women’s March in response to Donald Trump’s election. “My wife and girls marched in the Women’s March, the day after President Trump’s inauguration,” he said. “At least my...

Clinton on Notion of Ivanka Being First Female President: ‘We Don’t Want Any More Inexperienced Trumps in the White House’ Hillary Clinton shot down the idea of Ivanka Trump being President of the United States, a rumor that was written about in Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury. During an interview flagged by Newsweek, Clinton sat down with Dutch public broadcasting company KRO-NCRV where she was told daughter of the president Ivanka Trump wants to be the first female President of the United States. "That’s not going to happen," Clinton said. "No?" the interviewer responded. "No," Clinton said, shaking her head....

For a couple of hours on a recent Thursday, Sen. Kamala Harris of California became the favorite to win the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination. According to the oddsmakers, that is. PredictIt, a website that allows election junkies to place real money behind their political prognostications, has been asking thousands of its traders who they think will be the party's next White House standard-bearer. Harris, just entering her 12th month as a senator, has remained among the top three candidates since the market opened Aug. 30. The trio of other front-runners – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Sen. Elizabeth Warren...

Are you sick of Republicans? Or just right-wingers in general? Do you want to send a message to Washington that you aren't going to buy into their racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic and classist nonsense for one second longer? Encourage Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2020!

The Democratic Party is currently so filled with hate and anti-Trump spite that they're determined to be everything that The President is not - and have thus painted themselves into a politically-correct corner for 2020, candidates-wise. All their constant talk of "white-privilege" and "male-privilege" leads to one inevitable result - the next Democratic Presidential candidate will be a woman, probably a minority. So too bad Bernie, de Blasio, even "Crackhouse Cory" Booker (though he had the right skin color), on the Dem side it will come down to two honky women vs. two sistahs. Here's a quick review of the...

One year after a Republican accused of sexual misconduct was elected president, and Democrats are the ones in turmoil about misogynistic behavior in their ranks. Renewed media attention on sexual harassment and assault led to the twin New York Times and New Yorker exposés on Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood mogul and Democratic donor. But Democrats did not rally to protect one of their own, and his attempt to curry sympathy with a pledge to fight the NRA fell flat. The subsequent #MeToo phenomenon continues to upend the left-leaning political and media worlds, with accusations of inappropriate behavior ensnaring liberal darling...

RUSH: What are the odds that the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee is gonna be a woman? Pretty solid, right? You know, it makes my theory that what Donna Brazile’s doing is setting up a run by Michelle Obama. I mean, it’s looking more and more likely. Hillary Clinton can kiss it big, fat good-bye, if she’s got designs on the 2020 nomination, there ain’t no way, Jose. And they gotta be a woman, right? In fact, I just saw a story, the GOP, the Republican National Committee, is raising money out the wazoo, compared to the Democrats. The Republicans in...

As sexual misconduct scandals hit Capitol Hill, it makes even more sense for the party to run a female candidate against the sexist president. This year, Franken emerged as an outside contender for the presidency in 2020. The former Saturday Night Live comedian, elected in 2009, is an effective and studious senator who’s earned the respect of his peers—and, lately, the fear of his opponents, as he’s been one of the Senate’s most ruthless interrogators of Trump nominees and one of his party’s most entertaining critics of the president. Now, his job is in serious jeopardy and he’s out of...
