Is America really ready to accept the idea of a woman President ?

1. Yes, of course. nt

2. Yes

3. Remember the "is America ready" conversation 8 years ago?

I'm sure you do, kentuck! And the answer is quite similar--"Most of us are, and the rest will have to suck it up."

4. After Obama, we are more than ready.

I never understood this history thing with Hillary.

I believe Obama's election was more profound. Never has white-euro-centric country elected a person of African descent until we did. On the other hand many women have been heads of state in said countries.

I always knew I'd see a woman president in my lifetime, but never one of color.

5. Ready or not, here she comes!

The last 8 years has shown that parts of America were not ready for a Black President. (And, given Trump's nomination, apparently still aren't ready.)

The next 8 years will reveal the answer to your question.

7. Oddly, the 2 people I know who aren't

are 89 and 90 years old. neither worked outside the home much.

I think they're so used to men being in charge of everything for their whole lives, that a woman in charge makes them anxious.

[harrose]

8. I'm ready.
