    Doesn’t really matter. The country wasn’t at the point where it would have voted for a woman. The US is still extremely misogynistic, as seen by a guy who takes notes from Saudi Arabia winning the popular vote.

    Waltz has a personality that a great many people respond to well, and he’s an old white dude. That seems to be the winning ticket these days.

      I won’t speak to his personality because again I don’t know anything about him, but I don’t think being a woman had much to do with Harris losing. If she was a good candidate she’d have won because her opponent was Trump; and if a man with the same positions and attitude had run they’d have lost for the same reasons she lost.
