Question? Is the Country Ready for an all Female Presidential Ticket?
69% Yes 31% No.....
Holy crap...This a stupendous result for us....Ive 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..

(42,740 posts)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.

(14,337 posts)we are certainly ready for a Female President/VP. America is behind the rest of the world on this one by decades.

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.

(10,857 posts)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.

(30,803 posts)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.
