Historically, a woman has never been America's choice for president. I remember when Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton were battling it out for the democratic nomination, I felt sure that given the choice, between a black relatively inexperienced man and a white woman with the impressive credentials Hilary Clinton had, that for sure she would win. I was sadly mistaken and came to the conclusion that perhaps Americans are not comfortable with a woman as president regardless of ethnic background.
I look at the choices that are left and wonder who will Americans choose for President. Would they choose the bombastic billionaire Donald Trump with more skeletons in his closet than a cemetery? What about Bernie Sanders? He has a huge support among young people including women even though he often comes across like a cranky old man with Utopian socialist ideals. Remind me, are there any socialist governments left in the world? But these two men, Trump and Sanders, seem to be quite popular and have the ability to seriously impede the lone woman's chance for the White House.
When the dust settles, who will Americans prefer to see take the office of President? Is the thought of a woman in the highest office in America so incomprehensible? Will the glass ceiling continue to be a mirage?
