Hypothetical - 1st Woman POTUS.


Lets just say, hypothetically, Trump ends up with so many legal issues he has to pull out, or gets sick, expires, whatever, so the GOP flips and nominates Nikki Haley (not likely, but this is just a discussion) and at the last moment Biden gets sick, or worse, or pulls out...will the Dems go with the VP?

If so, that would mean Kamala Harris versus Nikki Haley. It would mean, for the first time ever in the history of the USA, either way, we would have a female POTUS. Good, bad, right, wrong, good candidates, or not, whether you or I like either of them or not, if it was "Fem v Fem" on the ballots, either way, one of them would win and we'd have the 1st Woman President. Which also means we'd have the 1st Male...First Lady? First Gentleman? 1st "White House Male House Bitch Dude"? 1st Man of the Woman of the White House? 

It would be interesting on so many levels. Obviously there are quite a few people in 'Murica, that do not want a woman at the helm. More so, there are quite a few people, mostly on the right, that do not want, would especially not want, a woman of foreign origin, heritage, or ethnicity at the helm. As both Nikki and Kamala are of at least partial Indian ethnicity, mixed with African, and not sure what else, what would those "Bubbas" do? Vote? Not vote? Write in someone else? And a lot of Dems are not really "fan boys-girls" of Kamala so the enthusiasm level and turnout for her might not be what some would hope or expect. Not sure. I know one thing for sure...I would not vote for either of them. However, it is interesting to ponder and would throw some excitement into what is otherwise a rather boring repeat political contest between two geriatric old dudes, wherein we already did this, roughly 3 years ago.   :)

  1. it's an interesting hypothetical, but I think you're wrong about the right, and the willingness to vote for a woman, or a woman with a foreign name.

    I've been all in on Haley since the start of this cycle, and remain convinced she can pull it off. we'd all be better off with her in the White House than one of the two corrupt octogenarian men.

    imo, of course.

  2. Hello miss Chaland. I would surely vote for Harris. She's doing a wonderful job, outside of the public lights. She has, a chairwoman of the Senate, a defining vote when it's a stalemate in the Senate, helping the good guys to legislation one step forward. This is largely unknown to the voters on both sides of the spectrum.

    Being the VP is a difficult thing to do. Her job is not to attract to much attention, support the president, unite voters and sell the programm of the presidency.

    Kamala Harris is a seasoned politician. In earlier days, she was the highest ranking Attorney General of the state California and went to court, succesfully, to attack banks during the Financial Crisis.
    Harris has 'Migration', 'Voting Rights' Abortion' and 'Border Security' in her wallet and it shows that she is respected enough to carry these difficult political topics.

    Harris has scheduled meetings with Joe Biden and her input does have effect, without causing to much of attention.

    Biden-Harris.
    Vote True and Vote Blue!

    (not bad for a Dutchman, hey Vanessa?)

    Kind regards,

  3. Vanessa Vanessa Vanessa……
    What’s with the both side bs
    When is the last time the Republican Party did anything you agree with?
    For me it was Nixon passing the Environmental Protection Act in 1972
    Course that’s been pissing them off ever since:)
    Haley is just another MAGA moron with a ubiquitous vagina
    I despise that woman
    Harris is a smart capable lawyer but not a particularly likable politician
    In my opinion Joe Biden is going to go down as one of the best 5 presidents we have ever had
    Brought us out of the pandemic with flying colors
    Passed the first big infrastructure bill since Dwight Eisenhower’s interstate highway initiative
    Passed the most far reaching climate bill ever
    Passed the chips act
    Has presided over huge job and wage gains
    Tamed supply chains and pandemic caused inflation
    Brought the world together to stop Putin
    Reunited NATO
    Brought respect back to the White House and the United States
    Is a good honorable man
    I could go on….
    Kamala would be a fun president if for no other reason than she would cause all those MAGA morons to completely loose their minds:)
    Seriously
    Those little snowflakes would go ballistic:)
    Bless there little hearts…….
    Your fan always
    Despite your false equivalence crap:)

  7. Vanessa:

    It will happen someday….two Women vying for the top spot….I hope I am around to see it. Man, Woman…old or young….I just want honest, capable, intelligent and caring people to lead our country.

    I know fat chance.

    And I love the moniker…. White House Male House Bitch Dude…..will love to see the media write that all the time…

    Thanks for a thoughtful post.

    1. HS, I agree...competent, erudite, honest, ethical, intelligent, benevolent candidates...that would be nice. :)

  8. A quite possible scenario. But what would it mean? Certainly, a glass ceiling would be broken and the pool of leaders would be expanded. But, would it automatically result in some radical change in domestic or foreign policy. Not likely! Women can be just smart or dumb, mean spirited or generous as men.

    1. As you stated...it would mean nothing. Just someone with an "innie" instead of an "outie"...that's it. Nothing else would change. :)
