Joe Biden still wants to be president

18. Nancy Pelosi did a masterful job

of holding her caucus together for the last six weeks. No wonder Republicans demonize her! She's dangerously effective in her role.

It's been interesting that the misogyny has crossed over to include strong Republican woman legislators as they are making their voices heard. (Even Jodi Ernst stood up this week to Trump's gratuitous military policy directive via tweet.)

History will judge many harshly concerning the rampant and open misogyny demonstrated during both the run-up to the 2016 election and the post election season. There are probably many people who are young now who will lie to their grandchildren about the role they did or didn't play when an eminently qualified and experienced candidate with a strong record of accomplishing policy goals across partisan divides dared run for president while being female.

Susan Bordo's book The Destruction of Hillary Clinton is an excellent analysis by a renowned gender studies scholar. You can read an excerpt at the Guardian's website.
