In order to be qualified for President a woman must be intelligent yet non-controversial

[katmondoo]

deferential to powerful males, check every fact before making a statement, speak softly, win by being demure and factual, there are other traits that can be filled in by more experienced men who really know how a woman seeking a high roll in government should be. I will leave it up to them.

1. An oxymoron is what's running successfully on the GOP ticket.

As far as women go, there is of course no such thing as an "intelligent but noncontroversial" female candidate to the knuckledragging portion of the population -- as is being demonstrated so pathetically.

This election will truly be an advance for all (American) mankind, kicking and screaming insults or whatever.

2. As a woman, my requirements for supporting/voting for ANY candidate for president are that they

be against war and fracking and the TPP and cluster bombs and regime meddling and adding restrictions to abortions and means-testing Social Security, and FOR Single Payer and (taxes-paid) free state/community college for all.

I don't care what gender the candidate is - gender is irrelevant. I think a woman who is for the things I am against is equally as horrific as a man.

4. Controversial doesn't bother me. Corrupt does.

9. how can she be corrupt when as a woman she's automatically an outsider?

do you think large corporations are just handing her money? No, damn it, she has to talk for that money

5. How about this

In this current system where with the greatest president in US history we have seen 2 steps back for every one step forward, ANY candidate MUST BE CONTROVERSIAL, must be honest, and must be deferential to the people.

For all the talk about our President being an essentially middle of the road leader (though that may well be true), he has moved this country forward most WHEN HE HAS BEEN CONTROVERSIAL.

7. I would not vote for this type of woman

I want a Hillary tough and tested

8. that is the worst description of Elizabeth Warren I have ever heard
