"peddle their woo" I love that description!! I say 'groomed for consumption'.

I'm a little surprised at the No's. I thought it would be a gender split on this one, but there doesn't seem to be. Almost everyone is saying no or probably no.

@paul1967 just because I am a woman doesnt mean I would support a woman candidate

@btroje I've noticed that, and it surprises me. Not that you're wrong for not supporting a woman. I think you should support the person you think is the best qualified. However I was SHOCKED how few women supported Hilary Clinton who I absolutely know was more qualified than Trump, yet woman hated her (I'm speaking in generalities based on polls) and voted Trump and that included a lot of liberal women who voted Trump to avoid voting Hilary. I was pissed and upset, but it is what it is and we are stuck with the results. I am not blaming women for Trump, I'm just saying that was a factor along with a long list of other factors and who people vote for is their business and not a right or wrong thing. I was pissed and upset because my candidate lost.

@paul1967 i sure can't explain that, i voted for her bu did no likr the idea of another political dynasty

@btroje Would you feel the same way if Michelle Obama ran for office? I ask because I hear that reason, "I don't like the idea of another political dynasty" and I've never understood the rationale for that objection. I promise I'm not being ugly here, I'm just curious if that answer is possibly a cover for the fact that you just didn't like her and you don't know why you didn't like her. I could also be way off base and If I am, I'm sorry.

@paul1967 I voted for Obama twice and I think they are both amazing people.I just don't like the way power is getting so consolidated among a few in the recent past.Maybe it would have been better if Michele ran and won first

@btroje I'm only asking because I genuinely want to see a qualified president who happens to be female in the white house. Surprisingly I see women supporting other women as the hardest hurdle to overcome. I might be wrong, but I see women attack other successful women far more than I see men attacking successful women. I scratch my head every time and wonder why aren't more women supporting successful women?

@paul1967, i am not into isms, in particular not feminism. it just divides people.

@walklightly Not athe"ism" or natural"ism" or secular"ism" sorry, I'm just teasing you

@paul1967 I know what you are talking about, won't try to imagine what each individual is thinking and go from there. I will vote for the best candidate. I would hate it if say a Margaret THatcher type became president just because women banded behind her

@paul1967, that's ok, tease away but yeah, basically i'd prefer to deal with people individually. as that is not always possible without getting very convulated i tolerate isms occasionally.

Oblowme the manChild is not president, FYI

I don't think Oprah would be a good President, and I would not support her in an election. However, I keep hearing this statement being said over and over. "We don't need another celebrity in the White House" A few years ago the statement was "We want change and not another political insider" What I see when it comes to politics is trends, people seem to follow one another based on the popular verbiage being used. I see no correlation between someone who happens to be a celebrity and their ability to lead. Reagan first term was a reasonably decent President. George Washington was a surveyor before becoming President. Andrew Johnson was a tailor in South Carolina and Tennessee before coming President. I could bore you with a list of jobs people had before becoming President, but I think you get my point. I want people to drop the group mentality and think deeper next election. Look at what is being proposed and if you can't understand something ask someone you trust to explain it to you. I don't understand 90% of what's being offered until I start asking around. Anyways I hope you didn't take this as an attack. I could have posted this on just about everyone's post, but I picked yours to post this. I want to hear what you have to think about what I said because I'm open to being wrong.

Your liberal education is showing, I'd clean that up.

@BigTen Your ignorance is showing. Read a book.

I couldn't agree more. Good post!
