If Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016 her top selling point will be — not her experience, not her competency, or intelligence — the fact that if she would be the first U.S. president with ovaries.
A new Gallup poll released Friday found that when asked what the best or most positive thing about a Hillary Clinton presidency would be, 18 percent cited the fact that she would be the first woman president. The second most popular answer, at nine percent, was her experience, specifically her foreign policy experience.
Other positives, that netted at least five percent of respondents, were that she would be the best choice, that she would be a change from the Bush and Obama administrations and that she would stick to a Democratic agenda.
A little less than half of respondents either had no opinion (22 percent) and answered “nothing” (27 percent).
“Clearly Clinton’s ‘unique selling proposition’ is that she would be the first woman president,” Gallup’s Frank Newport writes. “Nearly one in five Americans mention this historic possibility as a positive, including 22% of women, 27% of 18- to 29-year-olds, and 30% of Democrats.”
Just four percent of Americans said the most negative aspect of a Clinton presidency would be the fact that she is a woman, and one percent said that the country is not ready for a woman president.
When broken down by party, Democrats who had a negative view of a Hillary Clinton presidency were most likely to say they “don’t want a female president.” Six percent of Democrats gave that response. Most Republicans said the most negative aspect would be a “continuation of this path.”

Great, she’ll carry the Vagino-American vote. What Dem doesn’t?
We could organize Cankles Awareness Rallies all over the country
I agree with you. I know several women who I thought were conservative or apolitical that have told me they will vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman.
the democracks elected Obie using the RACE card...
the democracks nominate Mrs Clinton the Queen Of Benghazi using the WOMAN Card..
same same
The ‘time’ will come when we have the right candidate.
That is horrible. It’s how we got stuck with the Worst President Ever...because he was the First Black President.
Because our selection of candidates is now like an American idol selection....or “Voice”. Look the part and give the audience what they want to hear...and then we get to push the button even though the winner has already been chosen by those running the program.
she’s going down like monica blewinsky.
rinse, repeat.
It’s stuff like this that makes me wonder if I should add the 19th Amendment to the list of Constitutional amendments I would repeal if I were in charge...
fixed it
If Hildabeast runs, just save the money and coronate her. Whoever runs against her will end their political career as it will be a slaughter.
After watching the new “Voting Is Like Doing It” Obama advertisement, Ann Coulter said the clip is a perfect illustration of why we should consider raising the voting age, and repealing the 19th Amendment.
A reason to give Nikki Haley a shot. Compare and contrast. Just sayin...
This is why we are in deep trouble. There are a lot of people who will vote for Hillary only because she is a woman.
And that includes a lot of so called conservative women.
To my knowledge, Hillary hasn’t “self-identified” so we don’t even know what gender she is.....
her experience at what? First Lady in charge of putting down bimbo eruptions! And exactly in what endeavor has she demonstrated competence? As Senator what did she do? As SOS what did she accomplish other than logging air miles (great if she happened to be a pilot but...)? As for her vaunted intelligence, I think that's a media fiction, much like barky's.
