    I say this as a woman who is pretty bummed to say this.

    I don’t think women candidates can win over enough men to get votes on a national level. Radicalized men aren’t ever going to empathize with women and sure as hell aren’t going to vote for one anytime soon.

    Obviously there is a lot more than that, but it’s a big part of it.

      I still think it was policy and not gender :/

      But I understand that the evidence isn’t exactly clear on this.

        It’s definitely both but it’s starting to look clearer that a man can potentially overcome the potential policy issue and a woman just can’t.

        It would be foolish to say that gender wasn’t a factor, but I don’t think it was the deciding factor.

      Americans choosing Trump twice instead of a moderate woman candidate is all the proof I need that the country won’t have a woman become president in my lifetime.
