Cnn’s Poll just televised... Wow!

Question? Is the Country Ready for an all Female Presidential Ticket?

69% Yes 31% No.....


Holy crap...This a stupendous result for us....I’ve always felt that middle of the voting public hangs around CNN...Straight line Republicans watch Fox...Straight line Dems watch MSNBC..

I think that one can make the assumption that this might be an honest harbinger of the Nov. vote..

So, just on gender, a female VP probably costs her roughly zero votes.

If voters were not inclined to go with an all female Dem ticket previously they are now.
The majority of the voters are now saying anyone but Trump.       Good going shithead.

we are certainly ready for a Female President/VP. America is behind the rest of the world on this one by decades.

but it's not out of line with recent CNN/Opinion Research Center telephone polling on whether the country is ready for a female president:

Clinton/Warren 2016!!!

The only thing that would make it better for me is if the names were in reverse order .

Still, it's a pretty dreamy ticket.

idiot or confident, capable, brilliant woman...

criminally narcisistist or confident, capable, brilliant woman....
thin skinned, viloent, erratic maniac or confident, capable, brilliant woman....

Don't know whereI satand on this. hmmmm.

Scary part is close to 40% of the country KNOWS where they stand, and it ain't in the light.

At this point I am nearly certain that the 31% who aren't ready for an all-woman ticket are the same 31% who weren't ready for a black President, who were the same 31% who continued to approve of *Bush's job.

In other words, the misogynists are the racists who are the idiots, who are the Republicans. It's the same subset of a-hole-Americans, every time, and as the the targets of their hatred are increasingly motivated to defend themselves by voting, the a-holes become less and less significant in every election.

I don't think you can assume that if someone says they are ready for a female president that they will vote for Clinton - Warren.

It's likely there are a few Republicans - and plenty of independents - who would say an all-female ticket is fine, but are planning to vote for Trump (or not vote, or write-in, or who knows?).

It's certainly encouraging though.
