5 Female Politicians Who Should be Our First Female President

[ginny_weasley]

Tulsi Gabbard

I would totally vote for her if she ran. Just last night she was re-elected as a representative in the state of Hawaii, with 81% of the vote. She was vice-chair of the DNC but resigned because they're corrupt as hell and to support Bernie Sanders. When she returned from her first deployment, in 2006 she worked for Senator Akaka. In 2009, she volunteered for her second deployment and when she returned in 2012, she served on the Honolulu City Council. When she was first elected in 2012, she was the first American-Samoan/Hindu member of Congress. As well as one of the first combat veterans. She serves on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committee. She is also a military police officer with the National Guard.

Mia Love

She was re-elected last night for her second term. She is the first Haitian American and the first black female Republican in Congress, as well as the first African American to be elected to Congress from Utah. She was the mayor of Saratoga Spring from 2010 to 2014. She has been a representative from Utah since 2015. She believes as a Congresswoman the best thing she can do is urge the federal government to stay out of the way of businesses and out of people's lives.

Elizabeth Warren

She has been a US senator since 2013. Before that, she served Previous office: Special Advisor for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She was formerly a Law Professor at several different schools. Most recently at Harvard. She first became the senator of Massachusetts in 2012. People frequently wondered if she would run for president this year.

Kirsten Gillibrand

She has been senator of New York since 2009. She was re-elected in 2012 with 72% of the vote. The American Conservative stated after her eventual victory, "Gillibrand won her upstate New York district by running to the right: she campaigned against amnesty for illegal immigrants, promised to restore fiscal responsibility to Washington, and pledged to protect gun rights." She's not really conservative. Some people consider her a moderate, leaning conservative.

Susanna Martinez

She is the current governor of New Mexico. First elected in 2010, she got 51% of the vote even though it was a five-way contest. She is the first woman to be elected governor of New Mexico and the first Hispanic female governor in the United States. As prosecutor, she worked to expand "Katie's law" which requires a DNA sample for every felony arrest. She also barred all state agencies from hiring former lobbyists.

[Waffles731]

Why do new mexico governers make good candidates for president?
First you get Gary Johnson and now Susanna Martinez.
Seriously, thats strange

[peachblossomluck]

All better choices than Hillary☆

[ManOnFire]

A lot of people think Elizabeth Warren would be a good female president, and she probably would, but I don't feel the fire for her as much. Some people said Gabbard should've run a while back and she does seem like a pretty good prospect.

For me the thing is, I would want someone to run who ISN'T a politician, whether they're male or female. Granted, we just got that with Trump, but he's a whole other creature in himself. A woman I would like to see president is maybe a journalist or philanthropist.

[COCOCHANEL]

angelina?

[goaded]

None of them have spent a lifetime in politics, though, as far as I can see, which I think is a good thing.

[ManOnFire]

@COCOCHANEL Hell, no. Lol. I would definitely lead a revolt if she won.

[CyberToothTiger]

Thanks for sharing with us yes i believe all them women would make
a great Woman President of the United States. I just think Hillary Clinton
came in with too much baggage, she has people who love her but the thing
is Hillary came at time that she was under investigation with the FBI and
she set up a private email server without permission and there was also
possibility emails that she destroyed either , she could of got the hard
drive to the computers she used destroyed and that tells your answer
really hard to say if they will ever reopen her case and possible bring
her to justice , myself i was a big Hillary supporter and her emails didn't
matter to me but the idea she did place America at risk when she did it.

[CyberToothTiger]

I believe America has every right to have a Woman President just as much as a Male President i think they have the capabilities of running America just as much as a Male would run America and i believe men need to come down to earth and realize women should be treated as equal as men should.

[NexAngelus]

our first female president SHOULD be the first qualified president that is awesome that happens to have a pussy... any time u start throwing around names and a pussy is assigned to them i lose interest right away. only reason half of u voted for clinton was because she was "suppose" to have a pussy. u are all sexist as fuck. u dont care about ruining a country, u just want to put another fucked up name in a book with pussy next to its name. when the time and place comes that a president comes and everyone likes them and they HAPPEN to have a pussy... thats when we will have our first female president. till that time everyone else can pipe the fuck down. ur hisotoric votes did this country great justice the past 8 years... only good thing is that it destroyed the deomcratic party to nothing :) will take a while to recover after this fiasco after the past 2 elections lol.

[kitty71]

I just give my humble opinion. I believe some US citizesn are not ready to see a Female president yet so they will never vote for a women to fill the US presidency seat. I mean Im not against a woman beign president at all, but some sexist men may not like that or some chauvinistic citizens, they will never like a women to become a US president.

[NeutralMale]

You sound stupid, Hillary almost won and she would of won if she wasn't a terrible human being and if she wasn't part of the establishment.

[kitty71]

@NeutralMale I mean besides Hillary

[NeutralMale]

Is Hillary not a woman?

[kitty71]

@NeutralMale Yes she is. Hillary was the exception

[ginny_weasley]

@NeutralMale if you cared to read the article, you would've noticed she's not on here. Just because she's a female doesn't mean she's the right female

[NeutralMale]

You still sound stupid, females have had opportunities to become president. The men who ran against them happened to be just be better than them.

[NeutralMale]

Ginny, if you cares to read what i wrote, i wasn't talking to you.

[TheTruthHurtsImSorry]

Orrr we can just not vote for a woman at all...

Not saying a woman can't be president, but I'm not going to vote for someone just because they're a woman. That's what happened with Hillary. She was popular purely based on that, and people ignored her crimes.

[N192K001]

Now, that's more like it! They're actual quality candidates that happen to be female. Instead of trying to shove a repulsive candidate like Hillary Clinton down our throats and urging her election merely for the presence of her lady-parts, these quality lady candidates would draw in voters of all sorts of ideologies, ways of life, etc.

I would have personally voted for a number of them had their names appeared on my ballot.

[RationalMale]

Better question is why should there be a female President? Does having a vagina make them special and more fit to be POTUS? Or does being black or a Haitian mean they have some special qualification? That smacks of both racism and sexism. The President should be the best person among the candidates who decided to run.

And also, people act like in identity politics that a man can't really be a politician representing women, or a white guy can't really represent non-whites in DC. If that's so, why on earth would whites let a non-white become their DC representative, or a man vote for a woman?

[JudgmentDay]

The first candidate would be the best choice out of your entire list. If I had to vote for any of them, Major Gabbard would get my vote.

If they someone with military leadership experience and political experience and doesn't have any kind of controversies or scandals ran for president, they would be my first choice regardless of what gender they are, and even regardless of what their political party affiliation is.

[chrisbigman]

As long as they aren't corrupt or criminal, I'd vote for anyone that is looking to right the US ship, regardless of skin color or gender or disability. Being a career politician usually isn't a good thing, at least based on all the politicians in the past.

[enis_Penvy]

Tulsi Gabbard is also one of the more attractive politicians around.
But good luck with Elizabeth Warren - like Hillary Clinton she is a polarizing figure and many who are undecided would vote against her because they do not like her. She would be a better option in a cabinet post to help her reputation before she tried running

[SarahsSummer]

Sorry any list Elizabeth Warren is on other than a list of who should be thrown overboard, is not a list I can get behind. She's horrible!!
I have heard good things about Kirsten Gillibrand though.

[rubyrose83]

Not really a politician but I've heard rumors of a Michelle Obama run. Fingers crossed

[Afro-dite9]

I think all of America is hoping for that lol

[Jamesol1]

Voting for a woman just because she is a woman is stupid. Those may be good choices but outright voting for them and disregarding opposition because they are male...

[ginny_weasley]

Never said we should vote for them because they're women. These are political candidates who should run for president, who happen to be women.

[Jamesol1]

'Who happen to be women'... I doubt your looking into what male politicians who should run. I don't mean to be rude or anything but i get the feeling some women (democrats of course) just want a female president because she is female. Why do I think this? because I keep hearing the first female president this.. and that...

Black people wanted Obama... what did he do for his community... well not what they would have hoped.

[ginny_weasley]

I really don't care what you think.

[OPBinYYC]

Why does this list only females that should be president? How about 'people' that are 'worthy' to be president. I didn't realize that gender had a role into deciding a leader who oversees a country and affects millions of people. Food for thought.

[ginny_weasley]

Lol. Did you not read the title?

[OPBinYYC]

I did. Did you not read my reply?

[ginny_weasley]

Obviously.

[llorando]

Haft to disagree with Elizabeth Warren, she sold out during the Massachusetts primary in hopes of being Clinton's VP. Had she Endorsed Sanders during the primary, Clinton would of lost in Massachusetts.

[chrisbigman]

"Haft"? What does that mean? lol

[llorando]

@chrisbigman I have.

[chrisbigman]

Oh, okay.

[LogicBomber]

The first female president should be a female who doesn't use the fact that she has a vagina be her main reason for feeling she deserves the position.
If any female runs without pushing the fact that she is a female... and goes ONLY on her merit, then you might have a 1st female president.

[Icyfire101]

I definitely think Warren should run in 2020

That being said, I don't think nominees should be chosen strictly because they're female or male. What matters is what they can do and the policies they would enact

[smahala1991]

Good choices. Way better than Hillary, Sarah Palin, or Nikki Hayley which the latter two are extremely conservative.

[Kiran04]

Martinez sucks. She plays the women and Latina card every chance she gets. The other 4 I can live with, but not her. I'm live in her state and we hate her.

[ADFSDF1996]

They look like good candidates except for Kirsten Gillibrand.
