He can't run for president but he's already running the country.

Agreed. The misogyny still runs deep in this country, usually expressed as, "She's just not a good candidate!"

The bar is on the floor, for boys. We already know what kinds of men can and have been good enough to get elected. It takes Penis to spell President, apparently, and it doesn't matter that it's out of order.

    You used to say a muslim senator will never win. You used to say a black person will never win. It is pure ba to hide failures

    I never said those things. I did say, "Well damn, my party would rather run a black man than a woman," and twice I've said, "Well damn, our country would rather elect a criminal than a woman."

    Make that three times. I was around for Shirley Chisolm's run (but not old enough to vote) and like everyone else I knew a black woman couldn't get nominated in 1972. The Dems ran George McGovern instead, and Richard Nixon won in a landslide.

    Like I said, for the boys the bar is on the floor.
