In reply to the discussion: I'd vote for Amy Carter over Clinton's kid anyday [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)45. Neither is running for office, neither has said they intend to.
These two Democratic women are from different States and regions, meaning that there is only one office they could run for against each other, President. I consider it highly unlikely that either of them would ever want that gig.
So two Democrats who are not running for office and never have, from different States. What is the point of such a discussion? All I take away from it is that many seem to think women are xerox copies of their fathers, to be judged not as people but as objects.
