Is the U.S. ready for the first woman president?

[Ogre Mage]

The Republican Party and U.S. conservatives clearly are NOT READY as no woman has come anywhere close to making a credible run in their presidential primary.  But I think the country as a whole is ready and has been for about a decade now, it just took some time for the stars to align correctly.

The GOP has long been ready for such a thing.  Gender isn't the issue surrounding Hillary Clinton.  Trustworthiness and integrity are.  

Elizabeth Dole ran for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2000 but ended up withdrawing, lack of funds.

Had she won the nomination and the election, not only would she have become the first female President, but she would have made a fine President as well.

She would have been an excellent first woman President, respected and trusted, not like Hillary Clinton, who is mistrusted by most of the public.

Again, if the Republican Party is so ready for a woman president, why has every woman who has run in the Republican Presidential Primary in the past half-century gone nowhere?

Perhaps that will change now that Hillary Clinton has made history.

Dole had to contend with W, who wasn't going to be beaten by anyone in his primary. Carly Fiorina was a total fraud. Just a mixture of bad luck and a dearth of qualified candidates.

You forgot Michele Bachmann in 2012, lol.

But yes, that is correct.  The GOP has a dearth of qualified female candidates.  I won't get into the reasons for that right now.

Oh, you mean like Shirley Chisholm in 1972, Elvena Lloyd-Duffie in 1996, Carol Moseley-Braun in 2004.

Hillary Clinton appreciates that Chisholm et al. past efforts in Democratic Presidential Primaries helped pave the way for her historic nomination.

You didn't answer the question, perhaps because you realize the answer makes your party look bad.  Especially since in 2016 your party has now nominated an ignorant, misogynistic turd on a plate.  Have fun eating that $hit.
