Dems ponder gender politics of 2020 nominee

At a birthday party for Hillary Clinton in October, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) delivered a toast — and a sobering thought — for the evening’s attendees: “If Hillary couldn’t win the White House, I don’t know which woman can.”

Some of the party-goers — including the former Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and former secretary of State Madeleine Albright— nodded ruefully as Feinstein, standing in the doorway of a family room at the Georgetown home of major Democratic donor Elizabeth Bagley, made the remark, according to two attendees.

Months later, it’s at times hard to imagine Democrats failing to nominate a woman as their standard-bearer against President Trump in 2020.

Some of the party’s strongest potential candidates are women, including Harris and Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

1. Kamala Harris is the only candidate of the 3 named who the torch should be passed on to.

She represents the next generation, & she has the creds to well represent what Sec Clinton was denied.

2. I don't vote based on the gender of the candidate

I vote for the best Democratic candidate,
of either gender.
