Maybe we should all listen to Michelle Obama:
"Former first lady Michelle Obama said in a conversation published to her YouTube page Friday that the country is not ready for a woman president, adding that the U.S. has “a lot of growing up to do.”

Would love to see her elected. A lot can change by 2028, but don't see her doing well in most states. I'd vote for her.
