Not electing Hillary Clinton might just be the best thing that happened for women who long to see a woman President. I'll be first in line to vote for a woman...as soon as one runs who is ethical and sane, free of corruption.
Hillary would have been the worst pick to represent the first woman President, just as Obama was the worst pick for the first African American President. After eight years of hate speech against Christians, after eight annual ebonics laced speeches at NAACP dinners, where he first began stirring up racial hate, my guess it that it will take at least two or three decades before America becomes willing to vote another Black into the Oval Office. Obama fooled a lot of well meaning voters when he first ran for office, spouting out "perty words" and talking about "no red states and no blue states...just the United States". Then, when he got elected he set about dividing us like never before. We've never seen such racial tensions since the 60's. Wealth envy and an explosive sense of entitlement rules the national discussion and Obama's words and actions have only encouraged religious tensions instead of healing divisions. It will take a long time before America votes into office another Black....Obama was tough medicine to swallow...we won't repeat that mistake anytime soon.
So, yes, women who seek a woman President caught a huge break in Hillary's defeat. To prevent a "woman candidate drought" for decades into the future, let's elect a woman of high principle, who will set the example for, hopefully a long succession of women Presidents.

You're dead on with the woman thing but not so sure about another Black. There are plenty of Level headed smart Blacks(Allen West, Dr Carson etc) that are true Americans who think America first. Obama was an abomination, hoisted into office by the Media's lack of vetting him properly. Just like they tried with Hillary. We were too smart for them this time Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Yep. We're going to be wary of anyone the Media promotes. And you can bet they won't promote anyone with an (R) after their name. Not a problem. They just made that a positive.
Frank, I can name you a dozen prominent Black men in the public eye who have forced me to turn away from them for failing to admit to the Urban Black thuggery that plagues us. Morgan Freeman, Colin Powell (how could a career military guy like Powell ever support Obama?) and any number of others who copped out. Nope, neither West nor Carson has a chance. Blacks will just never get enough voters to trust them again. Obama ruined it for Blacks. If I were planning to live long enough I'd place a significant bet with you on this. I'll go further; there's not a politician today (including Trump) that will nail the Black Urban thuggery down and squash it like a bug.
I'd take that bet. Too many Whites still feel they owe a debt to Blacks even though it's a crock. We'll make it a Gentleman's bet until one of us passes(or I win b4 that happens).
