    Oh for sure. Honestly, it would be great if she was the first woman President one day. I’d campaign as hard as I could to get her elected. A perfect blend of strong moral principles and quick wit.

    We can write off the vast majority of the Republicans from ever supporting her, but that’s a given no matter who Democrats nominate. There thus remains two further problems:

    • The right-wing propaganda machine smearing her (and thereby influencing the independent/centrist/moderate swing-voters who have a frequency to be… Susceptible to misinformation currents).
    • And internal division among the Democratic coalition who believe ShE iSn’T EleCtABlE because she doesn’t water down her positions to the point failure and to appeal to ignorance for a group of people who will never vote for her anyway. (In this respect, I think the biggest hurdle for a progressive will always be the Democratic Primary and not the General election).
