7. I do think a woman could win eventually, but it'd have to be a former Armed Forces member probably

That would be the type of woman that could pass the Commander in Chief test. Voting for president is different than voting for a Congressional member or governor. People really do visualize that person sitting behind the Oval Office giving military orders like JFK did during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I think a woman from the armed forces, someone in leadership, would be that type that could win.

Hillary was viewed as a tough woman, that's why she came so damn close to pulling it off. In 2028 though, we don't have the luxury to experiment. We need a WINNER. We are so close to losing whatever is left of this country.
