How do you feel about the United States having a woman for a president?

Are you for it, against it, or don't you think it matters?

~
I previously had this as a for/against debate, but I think it would work better as a perspectives debate.

As long as they are Conservative and abide by the Constitution? Who cares what sex, race or anything else they are? Certainly not me.

Conservative? Why?

A man (or woman) wants what they want.

Why we want what we want is not always that easy to explain.

Uh, no. Libertarians are way better. .

If she has the potential to be a really good president, then sure. If she is very good then we don't have a reason to turn her down.

She can't run a country and make sandwiches, I say stick to what you're good at.

In all seriousness though, I don't care either way whether the president is black or white, female or male, all I want is to be free enough to enjoy my country.

I feel if a woman does run, the chances of winning will be slightly higher for her. Americans, although I am one, are idiots. Most of the people I know voted for Obama, for no other reason than the fact that he was black. There reasoning: "We gotta get one in there". facepalm

As for when the case is normal, meaning no outlying candidates such as a black or a female, most of the people I know did not review the candidates platforms rather they simply chose the one in the same political party as them.

What I'm reiterating is that Americans, or at least a majority of them, are very superficial even in voting, so if a woman is running for president, she damn well better know what she's doing or she'll be in there without a clue.

Biological sex should never play a role on whether someone can hold office.

Biological sex? So no transgenders then?!

I would vote for a trangendered person if they had a good policies. Do yourself a favor and stop putting words in people's mouths.

I think a female president would be awesome and historical, I definitely would support a woman running.

BUT - I think when a woman finally decides to run for president, people will vote for her because of her politics, not because of her gender - because if they vote for her because of her gender, then the whole point of sex equality is gone.

I personally feel that many people voted for Obama just because he is black, not particularly because of his political views and passions. I am 70% sure, that if Obama was white, he wouldn't have been president today.

I really don't care one way or the other. If a woman is the best qualified and I think she has good positions then yes but I wouldn't vote on anyone based on gender, or race for that matter.

I personally think, that Hillary Clinton would make a great president. In Denmark we currently have our first female prime minister, and it's going great for us. In other words gender doesn't matter.

I think 2016 may finally be the year for a woman President. As for me, I'm all for it!
