A Female U.S. President? No Way, Josefina!

Mexico elected its first female president.

Claudia Sheinbaum is also the first Mexican president of Jewish heritage, as well as a climate scientist and a leader of the Parti Morena, Mexico's left-wing party.  Many people in America, noting that even Canada has had a female prime minister (Kim Campbell, who served briefly in the early nineties), say that it's time for a female U.S. President.

Not a chance.

We're certainly never going to have a Jewish woman as President - as I joked long ago, no one wants a President who's going to spend her press conferences complaining about her children - but when you consider that Americans even rejected a white Protestant woman from the Midwest for the job (yeah, yeah, I know, she won the popular vote, but 52 percent of the electorate still voted against her), you have to wonder where this confidence of getting a woman elected President comes from.  Eight years ago, we seemed to be on the precipice of electing a female President; now women's rights in These States are falling away faster than dead ivy from a tree. 

Maybe we'll one day elect an Asian-American or a Puerto Rican President - male, of course.  But a woman?  Please - Jethro Tull have a better chance of getting inducted into the Rock an Roll Hall of Fame. 

And we certainly will not elect as President a left-wing woman who's a climate scientist.
