I still can't believe that Hillary Clinton, a white woman, lost the white women vote four years ago- to Trump of all people.

Now I don't believe that people should vote for someone just because they are part of the same demographic but I still can't believe that women did not want to see another woman ascend to the highest office in the land.

100 years after the passage of the 19th amendment maybe we can elect a female vice president.

I just can't believe so many Women for Trump overlooked his blatant misogyny and voted against their own interests. There were women who held up signs saying "Trump Can Grab My Pussy Whenever He Wants".

Human beings can be so irrational.

People need to stop seeing it as "people, including women, did not want to see a woman president" and accept the fact that "people, including women, did not want to see Hillary Clinton as president".  

Exactly! I'm extremely excited for Nikki Haley to run for President, but that's because she has similar values and political thoughts to me. I legit think she is the most qualified to be President for the next Republican. She was a hawk at the UN. Sarah Palin though? No way. She is not qualified.

The idea that people vote for people just because of their gender or race is incomprehensible to me. Vote for who would get the job done the best you'd want it to be done. I knew a conservative girl in high school who wanted Hillary to win the nomination and election in 2008 just because she's a woman. Why? She's gonna do a whole bunch of stuff you don't agree with, why vote for her?

I also knew a girl back than who wanted McCain to lose to Obama simply because he was older. That similarly makes no sense, unless you think he doesn't have the mental capacity to run a country anymore (that wasn't her argument).
