Related: About this forumUS ready for woman president, says Indian-origin political activist
Washington: The US is ready for the most capable and talented individual to be the country's leader irrespective of his or her gender, an Indian-American campaigner and a key fundraiser for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has said.
When asked if the US is ready for its first woman president, Haridwar-born Kashmiri-American Shefali Razdan Duggal said, "In all honesty, it really doesn't matter what I think, as the country must have a heart beat of its own which makes these decisions, based on societal advancement and open-mindedness which comes from progressive thought."
Away from media glare, 44-year-old Duggal has quietly established herself as a major fundraiser and campaigner for the former Secretary of State.
Based in San Francisco, California, Duggal firmly believes that 68-year-old Clinton is best suited to succeed Barack Obama as the next president of the US.

(4,377 posts)1. I hate the idea that America is suddenly 'ready' for a woman president
Women are a majority not a minority, there should have been a woman president decades ago, and the fact there still hasn't been is shameful quite frankly.
And I say that as a completely committed Bernie supporter.

I look forward to the day an honest woman with integrity runs.
Hillary is not that woman.
