Bill Clinton Gets Asked if Republican Women Have a Better Chance at Becoming President: Kamala Won’t Like His Answer
In a recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning, former President Bill Clinton made controversial remarks regarding the likelihood of a female president in the United States, suggesting that if such an event were to occur, it might be a conservative Republican rather than a left-wing Democrat. Clinton was responding to questions about the difficulties faced by female candidates like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, especially concerning perceptions of sexism in American politics. While noting some challenges, he implied that a more conservative woman might have a better chance of winning.
Clinton also commented that if his wife had run for president in 2008 instead of 2016, she would have likely succeeded due to the political climate at the time being more favorable to left-leaning candidates. His statements have ignited discussions about the current political landscape, with critics arguing that they reveal an alignment with conservative values rather than a true acknowledgment of gender-related obstacles in elections. The former president’s take is seen as a departure from traditional Democratic rhetoric that positions the party as the stalwart defender of women’s rights.
Former President Bill Clinton inadvertently dissed the Democratic Party — the self-declared “party of women” — by saying if the United States ever elects a female president, she’ll most likely be a conservative Republican, not a left-wing Democrat.
Clinton made the casual dig on “CBS Sunday Morning” after being asked if his wife, Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Kamala Harris were both trounced by President-elect Donald Trump because the U.S. is sexist.
“Do you think part of the issue is that America is just not ready for a female president?” host Tracy Smith asked.
“Maybe,” the 42nd president opined. “I think in some ways we’ve moved to the right as a reaction to all the turmoil.”
Clinton said if his wife had run in 2008 instead of 2016, she would’ve easily won the White House because the country was more left-leaning then.
“I think if Hillary had been nominated in 2008, she would’ve walked in, just like Obama did,” he mused.
Like a typical Democrat, Clinton suggested that misogyny makes it harder for a female to get elected president in America.
Of course, the notion is absurd because the U.S. is majority-female (51 percent versus 49 percent male).
“Well, I think all these cultural battles we’re fighting make it harder in some ways for a woman to run,” he said.
That’s laughable when you consider the metastatic infestation of radical feminism and transgenderism in U.S. politics and culture — two toxic ideologies that have pushed the U.S. to the far-left.
One day no-one will believe these freaks were sent to Paris by the Biden administration to represent America at Bastille Day. A creepy guy who argued for no limit on the age kids got transgender surgery and a pervert who stole women’s clothes. Lunacy. No wonder Kamala lost. pic.twitter.com/9jId6NgNlb

“So, you think it has more to do with party than gender?” Smith asked.
“No, although I think it would probably be easier for a conservative Republican woman to win,” Clinton said, “because, I mean, that’s what Maggie Thatcher did.”
The former president was referencing the late conservative politician Margaret Thatcher, a former prime minister of the United Kingdom.
He added, “I still think we’ll have a female president pretty soon,” but he was unsure exactly when that would happen.
Clinton’s comments inadvertently revealed a lot more than he may have intended.
First, he suggested the United States has become more conservative “as a reaction to all the turmoil” in recent years.
This is an acknowledgment that the nation has been roiled by chaos because it had moved too far-left under the disastrous Biden-Harris administration.

Second, Clinton’s assertion that Republicans are more likely to get a female elected president than Democrats is a smackdown of his party’s sham talking point that the Democratic Party supports women more than the “sexist” GOP.
If the GOP were as misogynistic as Democrats and their left-wing media lapdogs repeatedly screech, then why does Clinton think the first female American president would be a conservative Republican?
As a reminder, the ridiculous trope that the Democratic Party is more female-friendly is based almost entirely on its flippant support of unfettered, on-demand abortion.
Despite what Bill Clinton or other left-wing pundits insist, Kamala Harris didn’t lose because the U.S. is sexist. She lost because she was a uniquely unqualified candidate who was extremely unlikeable and had no record of success as a politician.
In rejecting her bid to win the election based solely on her demographic traits, the United States dodged a potentially fatal bullet.
