19. It would be a DREAM ticket to have two strong women at the top of the ticket. Truly.

But dreams aside, we need to keep it real, based on the culture of our country. Women still aren't being paid the same as men, so why would the Boston Globe try to propagate a 100% woman ticket? Perhaps they hope Hillary is stupid enough to fall for it so that Trump or Crazy-Cruz will win the White House at a time that the next president will need to fill probably four seats on SCOTUS? Could that be why?

Let's work first to get ONE woman elected president of the United States. That would go a long way in breaking yet another historic record - in addition to breaking that friggin' glass ceiling - and then maybe, maybe one day, when our androcentric nation can see that having a woman at the head of our country works well and is nothing to be afraid of, we can think about a ticket that's 100% woman.

The right man or woman would balance the ticket and help unify the party. Koinos Apr 2016 #10
TWO women on the ticket?? In a male-dominated, male-centric nation? That would be a sure-fire way BlueCaliDem Apr 2016 #17
