I'm incredibly impressed with our women

Specifically

Kamala Harris
Elizabeth Warren
Amy Klobuchar




As I was just listening to Zerlina Maxwell, I just thought about how incredible this moment in history is. Those 3 women are serious contenders to be president. They came off as well prepared, self assured, CONFIDENT. Elizabeth and Kamala won both of their debates but Amy had her moments when the men seemed to have no comeback. They are setting such wonderful examples for our young women and girls that are watching. So many young girls lack self esteem and confidence.

Here's an article from the Boston Globe

Female candidates make history, waves in debate

There was no Lazio moment. No woman was dubbed “nasty” or “likable enough,” at least while the mics were still hot.

The first presidential debate to feature multiple female candidates was notable for its lack of gendered gaffes, as well as the breakout performances of Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris.

“It’s historic enough that we had six women over two nights of the debate,” said Betsy Fischer Martin, executive director of the Women & Politics Institute at the American University School of Public Affairs. “But to have, each night, one of the women rise to the top, I think was definitely something that was exciting.”

More women took the debate stage this week than had in all of American history, and their appearances gave viewers their first-ever array of alternatives in one election. Though some skeptics have misgivings about putting another female nominee up against President Trump after Hillary Clinton’s bruising experience in 2016, several female candidates beat back concerns, said Mary Anne Marsh, a Democratic strategist.

“Who can take on Donald Trump most effectively” is Democrats’ top priority, Marsh noted. “Out of these two debates, Warren and Harris are the two candidates who proved they could.”

1. My conservative handyman really liked Warren in the debate

He thinks we should shoot illegals crossing the border. But he was really impressed with “the little lady with glasses from Texas.” He thinks Trump is not Presidential and says he watched the debates because he’s open to voting for a democrat this time. He didn’t know a single name of a democrat but I’m encouraged.

2. Stories like this encourage me, because I think Warren and Buttigieg are

the only two who realize that there are conservative voters ready to be picked off because they are more concerned about the declining middle class than tax cuts.
