I don't really care if "America isn't ready", just because a minority of throwbacks can't handle the idea.
THE REST OF THE WORLD is more than ready for a female POTUS, and they seem to know better than a pretty good number of our own voters. Let's give them a chance to welcome the US into the modern world.
The 76 countries that have previously had women elected or appointed as head of state or government, since 1950, as of 28 October 2018:
Four former sovereign states (East Germany, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Tannu Tuva) have also had a female head of state or government.

Some people just can't accept the idea of a female preisident.
They probably wouldn't vote for a Democratic candidate anyway, and we should not be targeting these deplorables -- that's what they are -- deporables. Clinton nailed that 3 years ago.
