The first female president

Ivanka Trumo

Who ever she is, she won't be African-American. Or even Macedonian-Greek American.

R2 I never say never again. Anything is possible. This isn’t 1968.

The first female president will be a conservative with little to no baggage like Marsha Blackburn.

It won’t be a MTG. If the last three elections have shown us anything, it’s how desperately they need to appeal to swing voters in a handful of states.

You've started a shit-storm OP. Expect to be bombarded with CLEOPATRA WASN'T BLACK posts from here on out. Datalounge is adamant about that. She was a white woman. And they will claim every possible heritage of hers as coming from white people - even though white people clearly established white as only western European for hundreds of years. And never mind that Jesus is forever and always portrayed as western European and they don't bat an eyelash. No problems whatsoever with that one. It's ok to portray great historical figures as white even though it's not historically correct. But god forbid they be portrayed as black.

Cleopatra, like your Lord Jesus, would be considered "brown" in modern parlance. Why would anyone think that people from that part of the world would look like Scandinavians or Sub Saharan Africans?

Race is such a social construct. But when have white white people ever worn braids? Come on now. Cleopatra was brown.

[quote]Hillary Clinton— as smart and capable as she is, her claim to power was as the wife of a former president.

That's a ridiculous statement. Hillary really came into her own as a U.S. Senator and then as Secretary of State, while Bill retired into the background.

[quote] But when have white white people ever worn braids?

You’re a moron.

It will be a republican. Like Maggie Thatcher - a woman can wrap up the cruel rhetoric in a strict school marm kind of way that makes it seem less horrible. Ivanka is my bet - she can seem like a centrist compared to her father. It will not be a liberal woman - like Elizabeth Warren, my dream President.

The first female president will be a moderate to conservative republican.

R8 Perception is everything in politics dear. And even in a realistic take she won her damn senate seat because of her husband and the name. I’m not paying dumb or aloof today. I just can’t do it.

R10 Hillary and Kamala Harris are not liberals.

R4 Marsha Blackburn?!! Give me a break.

I doubt it will be a conservative. I'f we've learned anything during Trump's presidency is that Republican men are way too misogynistic to elect a female.

Academy Award–winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis will be our first female president.

I disagree with OP's comments. First, Hillary did not lose because she was viewed as an extension of Bill. She had been on the scene for a long time and there were fixed opinions about her. Even being a Democrat, I thought she was dishonest and couldn't stand her. She lost due to an ingrained negative opinion about of her by a significant portion of the voters. Bill has nothing to do with that.

Secondly, we've had numerous VPs before Harris in the past decades who never would have been serious contenders for the White House... Quayle, Cheney, Pence. Harris was nt a great candidate who had even less time than usual to change opinions about her. I voted for Harris but I still thought she talked in "word salad" and made little sense.

IMO, the first female president will be moderate Republican who arrives via a popular governorship, not the Senate or House.

Serious question—is there a female celebrity who could be a possibility? Anyone with the broad appeal of Reagan, Trump, Schwarzenegger, etc.?

R18 Her name was Ellen but liberals decided “she was a big ol meanie” because she was a cunt behind the scenes.

[quote] Cleopatra, like your Lord Jesus, would be considered "brown" in modern parlance.

Jesus, yes. Cleopatra, no. Cleopatra was of Greek ancestry. She was not "brown" in the way the term is used today.

R20 I think she was brown and people in Greece during that time were browner than they are today.

OP, why the actual fuck did you bother linking "Cleopatra" to an unrelated thread? (And no, having a biracial woman run for president is in no way related, though our resident "Cleopatra was NOT Black!!!" racist cunts will soon come crawling out of the woodwork. But I suspect that's your true goal.)

Cleopatra was Greek. Greeks are white.

What is this thing with Americans intent on rewriting history?

"Cleopatra was of Greek (Macedonian) descent, not ethnically Egyptian, though she ruled Egypt as its last pharaoh, sparking a controversy in 2023 when a Netflix series depicted her as Black. Egyptians, led by officials and archaeologists, protested the casting and portrayal, accusing the show of historical inaccuracy and an attempt to promote Afrocentrism and erase Egyptian identity."

" The controversy highlights the tension between representing historical figures and navigating modern identity politics, with Egyptians emphasizing Cleopatra's Hellenistic, light-skinned heritage and the Ptolemaic dynasty's Greek origins. "

Fuck off, I just wanted a powerful woman leader for the imagery so I googled Cleopatra and this is what I found. Your own racial hang ups are your own problems to amend or resolve. Fuck the fuck off.

Sharon Stone would make an excellent choice for the first female President!

The first female president will be a moderate Republican.

I think “Moderate Republican” has become an oxymoron, because there are so many Republican morons.

What does "moderate Republican" mean? 99.9% right-wing, but not "aggressively" trying to criminalize birth control? It would be more about the image of being "moderate" than the actual policies. A Republican woman's administration would be no different than the current one.

The Dems will win in 2028. The GOP will nominate a female in 2032.

The Republican base is too misogynistic to allow a female candidate to make it through the primaries. An American Thatcher couldn't happen.

I believe Hilary would've been a great female President. Better than Harris and certainly better than AOC. America really fucked up.

If AOC runs in 2028, she won't get the nomination. There are naive progressives who actually believe that AOC or Jasmine Crockett can be elected POTUS. It's not going to happen.

I think the first female president will be a Republican.

But, I would love it if a Democratic (moderate type) woman became the first female president because the AOC ad Crockett fans would have screaming fit and meltdowns.

If Congresswoman Haley Stevens didn't have a thick accent or weird physical mannerisms (which seem like cerebral palsy) , she might have a shot at being elected POTUS. Many people in Michigan progressive circles are always triggered by Stevens and it would be hilarious if they had to see her or Elissa Slotkin elected POTUS. .

[quote]I believe Hilary would've been a great female President

She would have. Probably better than her husband.

[quote]If AOC runs in 2028, she won't get the nomination.

She won't. The Democrats (wisely IMHO but feel free to disagree), have superdelegates who can basically torpedo non viable (nationally) candidates. I feel like if the Republicans had the same system, Trump would never have been elected. Bernie would never have won a national election, and neither will she. I don't dislike her (don't love her either), but her policies just do not reflect the beliefs of most Americans (even many Democrats).

[Quote] The Republican base is too misogynistic to allow a female candidate to make it through the primaries.

They do currently have 4 ladyparts governors.

Kay Ivey: Governor of Alabama.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Governor of Arkansas.

Kim Reynolds: Governor of Iowa.

Kristi Noem: Governor of South Dakota.

+ and in Puerto Rico, Jenniffer González-Colón (Republican) won the Nov 2024 gubernatorial election and will assume office in January 2025.

Yeah but electing a woman to be governor of Arkansas is different from supporting a female presidential candidate. That woman would be one of the most powerful people in the world and that would make a bunch of conservative men feel bad about themselves. It won't happen, R34.

The US needs a big change and I would welcome a Ms President.

Ann Richard’s would’ve been fun.

Yes, Ann Richards would have been great.

The Democrats (wisely IMHO but feel free to disagree), have superdelegates who can basically torpedo non viable (nationally) candidates.

But yet the candidate still loses. No saying the populist people loved candidate would have won the national election though I know Bernie would have beat Trump in 2016. But if you going to tout this, then candidates should be winning. The electoral college is hard as fuck for democrats. Mines well stop playing safe and let the people decide. Thats another reason why Dump remains somewhat popular. He got a lot of non political people, white guys, to view him as someone they may don’t agree with but at least he thinks outside the box. He is shaking up things in a way previous politicians have not. They run on one thing, then constantly say day can’t do shit. Well you ran on it so why not. Some of you are old so may not see how America is changing. I’m not talking about diversity either. No one wants “The West Wing” candidate anymore. That era is gone. Wake up.

You guys are wrong. This is the thing about republicans, especially MAGAs, if the candidate has drunk the Kool-Aid, that candidate could be a white man, a woman, a black person, or a gay person. I've seen it over and over again. The only purity test for MAGAs is all Trump, all the time.

I predict the first female president will run as a Republican then come out as trans on inauguration day and shock the entire nation.

R41 I get what you’re saying and you’re not wrong. There is reason why outside of quick “stat”, the media won’t really discuss or dissect the fact that Trump got 25% of the black male vote and 20% of the black vote total. They are terrified of the implications. Running from it ain’t gon make it go away. I hate always being right.

Marjorie Taylor Green will be our first female President.

Whoever it is is not going to be popular. She's going to be absolutely reviled by many people, and many women.

R34, Kristi Noem is head of Homeland Security now.

Mrs Senator Bob Dole could’ve been a contender.

I agree with the other posters who think the first female POTUS will be a Republican but it won't be for 20+ years - long after Trump is dead and MAGA has become whatever it is going to become - Gilead-Lite?

The first gay male POTUS won't be for at least 50+ years and probably much, much longer.

We had a female Prime Minister for a hot minute. She steamrolled her own Conservative Party so bad she fled to L.A. and she did it as poorly as any man.

Hillary is still sharp enough at 80 to be President. Much more competent than Trump. I hope she outlives him.

Putin won the 2016 election. Biden won the 2020 election. And Elon Musk won the 2024 election.

Donald Trump has never legitimately won an election.

Megyn Kelly will be the first female President. Beautiful temptress with ice running through her veins.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled onto some Reddit thread about overrated politicians and one commenter mentioned AOC and another person replied to that person and posted something along the lines of "oh look it's one of those sexist and racist MAGATs". The person who mentioned AOC as overrated replied and said that they weren't MAGA and they are a centrist Democrat and they knew of other Dems who don' t like AOC because she's too far left. The other person never replied to the centrist Democrat. Some of AOC's supporters are idiots who ignore the fact that many Dems are never going to become far left and kiss AOC's feet.

R42 see R44

Japan may get its first female prime minister.
