    As much as I hate it, I think there too much subconscious misogyny to try it. It’s a recipe for failure.

        I think that would work for her. There’s way more minorities and centrists that would come out to vote for her because of Obama’s legacy than racists that would stay home out of spite IMO. I certainly don’t think she’ll be anything like Obama, but one could hope.

        Though racism is a factor, that doesn’t mean she isn’t also a bad candidate.

      Aren’t all of the misogynists already voting for Trump? I think just being a younger woman candidate could energize the younger voting base.

        Yeah it will energize, and they’ll be really confused on voting day when they find out they needed to register to vote.

        I think voting should be mandatory, easier, and have an abstain option for those people who don’t want to choose.

        I’m afraid a lot of older Dems just wouldn’t vote, it’s a low turnout that could be killer.

        I don’t know if she really resonated with the younger voters that much, not like AOC for instance.
