(82,383 posts)I remember that and how the right used to sneer that they hated the POTUS and her husband too. She must have worn the pants in the family per them. I did like the irony of her being the first female POTUS and Bill and the first one to take the role First Gentleman. Would have loved those right wingers to inconsistently start claiming Bill was getting a third term.
Notice they were able to make hash of the emails. I wonder if a male candidate could have done the same things as Sec. of State and there be nothing at all made of it. And let's not forget that the media will go after the husband too, in a way they never go against potential First Ladies. Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy - the media made it about her husband's scandals. The potential First Gent always has a career of his own.
I think it can happen soon, if the voters in the swing states get a bit more modern, but the next election is against Tangerine Hitler who the sexists will turn out for.
