Should a woman be elected president of the United States? Well, not now with this one.
There are probably 100 million women more suited to be president who don't habitually lie, who are smart enough to understand that classified documents don't belong on personal computers/servers, and who wouldn't take advantage of their position to solicit foreign contributions to fund questionable foundations for the purpose to enhance their personal coffers (get rich). Let's let this woman pass for some much better woman in the future.
We have an alternative, Donald Trump, who may be bombastic, but he isn't lying. Whatever he says he is going to do will be subject to congressional approval. So Congress can hold him back if his ideas are too extreme for weak-kneed moderates.
Trump has done a lot of good things in his life, like numerous and big real estate developments or golf courses that have created thousands and thousands of jobs.
Yes, it may be time for woman president. But for now, let's let Trump do his thing. After that, will the right woman please step forward?
