Sounds like an emotional or blackmailing comment to me...


Just because Kamala lossed the last election to trump doesn't mean America isn't ready for a female president.

Kamala Harris wasn't the right candidate at the time and it wasn't just what the US wanted at the time. America needed a strong candidate and what the Democrats were offering was different especially with Biden who seemed to be inefficient with the direction of his policies.

Besides that the time frame for Kamala to prepare and put up an effective campaign strategy was short. She was almost unprepared after the baton fell on her laps due to Biden dropping off the race.



Hillary Clinton had a good run and came very close. She almost had it.

I think if the right female candidate comes along America can vote for her and it's not simply a matter of gender bias as Mrs Obama has put it.

If America can vote a black man I don't think having a female president is that impossible!
Democrats go still field AOC ...come de expect say Americans go vote for am. . ..they are so delusional

Even if they want to have, it won't be Michelle Obama, a black woman. A country that refused to vote a white woman, Hilary Clinton. The US is the most hypocritical of all countries.
The most technologically advanced and largest economy also.

but her husband who is a black man was elected president twice, I think this is not about race, we still have black female governors, mayors, senators and house of representatives in US.
No state in the US has elected a black female governor

It might not be a gender thing, people loss elections everywhere. Trump and other tens of people who have lost, didi they lose because they were women? Mrs Clinton won popular votes, remember?
Re: America Is 'Not Ready' For Woman President - Michelle Obama by tnerro1(m): 6:21pm On Nov 16, 2025
I said this before the last election that America will not vote a black woman if they could reject a white one. People say na lie, we all saw the results, even latino men did not turn out to vote for her , and the black men numbers fell short of what it used to be. A white man would have sent trump to retirement but the democrats and their identity politics failed them again.

That's like handing the key to the world to a woman. And women are very emotional beings

She's being realistic and there is nothing wrong with that. Trump defeated the first and second woman to ever run for president.

US is not ready for a female president whether white or black based on the last two elections.

It is important to be optimistic but it is even more important to recognize your limits
Neither of them were generally strong candidates. Hilary was even much of a tougher cookie than Kamala, who was a lightweight. I bet even Trump acknowledges Hilary was a much more credible opponent than Kamala. Kamala was running against Donald freaking TRUMP. At that point (ie 2024), the dude was already immune to the constant regular streams of attacks that had been thrown him since 2015 when he came into the political arena. Most people were willing to hold their nose and vote for Trump because Kamala wasn't presenting herself to be a significantly better alternative. For instance, the way she speaks in word salads was a constant point of attack against her. Ironically, Trump also has that weird rambling trait, where he just goes off topic and spew so many horseshit. Hardly would you find any of Trump's rallies where he gives strictly policy speeches. But guess what? Most people didn't apply the same intensity in their criticism because they've been seeing that 'brand' for over a decade. They were not surprised. It was fatal misfiring for Democrats to center their attacks on the same set of scaremongering, rage baiting talking points, in addition to the fact that their nominee was just meh. You don't run a nominee of that quality against a Donald Trump

Just because someone is a woman does not entitle the person to become the president. You contest. If you win, good. You lose? Try again.

The problem with Ndi lovey-dovey is that they believe there should be quotas for positions, or rather, they believe in the equality of outcomes rather than the equality of opportunities.

There is no rule that mandates that a woman must be the US' president. It is not a gendered role. Contest it out by what you can do vs your opponent, not what is in between your legs!
You have it backwards. Nobody is clamouring for a quota. When a well qualified person is rejected just because they are female then it is not a quota issue but a sexism one.

Your analysis is spot on! Dems ran terrible female candidates against trump hoping to win the title of "first female president" but Americans rejected both.

Their persecution of Trump actually won him sympathy and support. It's the most incredible political comeback I've witnessed in my lifetime.

Both sides of the isle have their issues but Dems took it too far with their soft on crime policy, open borders, LGTV(🤣), critical race Theory, affirmative action, slave trade reparation, lawfar against political opponents and a host of other nonsensical policies...

So Kamala, who did not do well in the primaries, is the qualified candidate? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Thankfully, she lost woefully as envisaged.

Americans did not reject Hilary, she got the largest vote count. She lost to the electoral college, not the popular votes.

She is better qualified than Trump though.

Those were possibly the two worse women candidates the derms could have presented to the American people and its no surprise why they lost. The seat of the most powerful country in the world isnt one that is meant for a woman not to mention a country where women are losing their minds

Well 2028 will prove her wrong
The Simpsons prediction must come to pass
A woman president will come to clean the waste and corruption of the tyrant predator trump's admin
Either Kamala Harris comes again or we have President Ocasio Cortez
Waste and corruption you say. U mean the same Amala abi Kamala and her team that couldn't account for campaign funds running into billions ? And of all women its Cortex?? If the good people of America should ever allow these two terrible communists become president, they should just kiss their country goodbye

She's right, they voted for a lying lunatic who is a convicted felon and a pdfile.
Now most are regretting it. I know because my friend is one of them. My son also voted for this clown. Now the US is clown show being laughed at..
Prove your point or go cure your TDS. Nobody takes the deranged left seriously.

She's right, we've seen it twice, first it was Hillary Clinton and later Kamala Harris, two remarkable women.

If a country as powerful, advanced and civilized as america is afraid of having a female president, it says a lot
Is it about her being a woman? .... or what she was bringing to the table? If Biden had run ... would the result been different? Harris lost because of the gay agenda she was supporting and Americans were against it ... Democrats just did not vote.
Re: America Is 'Not Ready' For Woman President - Michelle Obama by SachaBastien(m): 3:52pm On Nov 17, 2025
Women say they are equal with men. Women blame men when they don't get elected. Women demand unearned dedicated seats at the table from men. Women never admit women hate women even more and won't vote for women. In most places, women are more than men, yet men always win.
