Back then, and remember, I was alive back then, women were not heads of
corporations either. A woman's purpose was to support her man, to do the
housework, to raise the children, and to do volunteer work if she were wealthy
enough to half household staff. Back then, a woman was supposed to be flattered
if a man made sexual advances, whether or not she liked the man. And back then,
women entered beauty pageants so that she could be judged according to her
appearance and sexiness, and what followed from that was expected. 30 of 40
years later, if one joins a beauty pageant in order to have one's physical
appearance judged, even if it's dressed up by adding on other capabilities like
piano playing, one has willingly entered the horse show, just like way back
then.

Miriam, back then women were too smart to want to be president; only me were
that foolish.

Harry never mentioned any women, did he?

The way Jaws reads her name, Gellibrand sounds a little like some brand of
grape spread. But I'm not going to stick my nose out on this next election.
Not after reading all the signs wrong in the last presidential fiasco.
I think I'll stop right here. I'm in a funky mood and not feeling very
productive.
The System is broke and is crying for fixing. But all the "fixers"
are gone fishing.
Old Harry Truman once told reporters that he figured there were more than a
million American Men who could be president. The big puffed up political cream
puffs postured and pouted and snorted. How dare that Haberdasher devalue our
mighty presidency by such blasphemy as telling the world that this great office
could be handled by over a million men.
So enter Donald Trump. Old Harry is chortling in his grave.

The gist of the above article is that Trump is hand picking Gellibrand
as his opponent for the 2020 presidential race. He may be a sleazy
fascist but evidentially not stupid. She is running from a very weak
position. Other than Obama and JFK senators don’t fare well in
presidential elections their voting record is always tough to explain
off and congressional approval ratings are at an all-time low. She is
also a woman and women don’t fare well in presidential races. She is
from a Northeast blue state and they also don’t fare well with the
heartland and the southland. The fourth major problem with her
candidacy is that she has chosen Trump’s predatory behavior as her
flagship issue. As we just experienced in the Alabama election white
women have basically said they don’t care as long as the predator is a
republican. Another mystery card in the deck is what would happen if
Trump decides not to run for reelection? Could she even make a ripple
with a republican candidate that isn’t a predator or maybe even a
female republican candidate, Sarah Palin, Candalisa Rice, etc.? If I was a
far right republican and I wanted to pick an opponent she may be a good
choice.
