A female president can highlight women’s issues and possibly, really make things happen! This is a needed item in America. We all at Tumblr that blog about women’s issues are spot on when it comes to highlighting the positive and negative, but action needs to be taken. With a leader in the White House, after actions comes a central authority to put these together.
Hillary Clinton isn’t the only presidential candidate to proudly identify as a feminist. In an interview with a Washington Post reporter published on Thursday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders discussed feminism and simply and straightforwardly identified as one. To Sanders, feminism means “a commitment to fighting for women’s rights,” which he claims he’s maintained throughout his political career. Like Clinton, who simply defined a feminist as “someone who believes in equal rights,” Sanders proved he’s able to look beyond the loaded, misleading controversy that the term has always been shrouded in and understand the movement as inherently simple and just.
But discussing feminism as the leading challenger against a female candidate for the presidency begs the natural question of Sanders’ thoughts on the need for a female POTUS. It’s certainly a question that the predominantly male GOP field hasn’t addressed when discussing either Clinton or Carly Fiorina, the GOP’s only female candidate. And while it’s important that gender not sway how contenders for the presidency treat each other, or how voters make their choices, it’s an important concept to discuss.
Our nation has never been governed by a female president, thanks to both historical and modern misogyny. It’s a concept that isn’t easy for male presidential candidates to talk about without unwittingly advancing their female rivals, and yet Sanders managed to offer a strong response that was both political and compassionate.
“I do understand there is a desire on the part of many women, perfectly understandable, to see a woman being elected president. And we all want to see that,” Sanders stated, when asked if he believed women understood his stance on women’s rights. “We want to see women hold more political offices. But I also would hope that, in these enormously difficult times, where it is absolutely imperative that we stand up to the billionaire class, bring our people together, to fight for a progressive agenda, that all people — women — look at that candidate who has the record to do that.”
Sanders proceeded to discuss both women’s rights and economic equity, as well as the strong intersection of the two issues and how his platform advances both:
“[Y]ou’re looking at somebody who … has a 100 percent pro-choice voting record … somebody who’s made … a key part of my campaign, the need for at least three months of family and medical leave; somebody who is fighting to raise the minimum wage over a two year period to $15 an hour, which will benefit … women actually more than men; somebody who regards it as enormously important that we fight for pay equity for women; somebody who believes that our child care system is a disaster today and that we need to have the best childcare/pre-K system in the world, making it universal and affordable.”

I hope so, I think the Republicans have advanced the issue and theirs no response.
The new 2017-2022 administration will promote their Businessman President, forget government support of the Constitution, and institute the business process in government. Anarchy will prevail unless they understand that the people are supported by the government laws, and they must support that. Also, by being the richest President, unlike Obama, he will forget the poor, social programs, and rules supporting that. He will also pay attention to the rich and institute 'rules for the rich' in government law. He is forgetting he is the son of an immigrant, but not that he made his fortune here, and even made it to the highest office in the land. One more thing. He has his 'America First' policy. He is cutting America off from the world in The Mexican Wall, making businesses come back to America, build in America, and put heavy import taxes on foreign businesses already here.
