A cranky old man, a crude bigoted billionaire, a smart woman, who will Americans choose?

Americans are currently making choices  from among a cranky old man, a crude bigoted billionaire, a smart  woman;who will Americans choose?


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?

North America's Lack of female presidents

North America, including Canada and the US, is seriously lacking female presidents. In other continents, Europe, South America and Asia, Women presidents are nothing new. Indira Gandhi was president of India serving two terms and becoming the longest serving Prime Minister of India after her father. Today there are several female presidents around the world except in North America. Could Hilary Clinton be the one to break the curse? After all, not only is she a woman but a qualified woman. Could the best man for the job of president be a woman? READ MORE

Bernie Sanders taking a page out of Trump's book?


Is Bernie Sanders taking a page out of Trump's book?  Or is he just being a crotchety old man. Whatever it is Bernie Sanders appears to be more Trump like in the last few days.Sanders thought Hilary Clinton said that he was not fit to be president. She didn't but did he check it out? No. Instead he responded tit for tat just like Trump did when he thought Ted Cruz  was behind a commercial featuring a naked Melanie Trump. Read More
