According to this article 13% of men won't vote for a woman for president.

66. Ok, how about selfishly ambitious and willing to use misogyny

to advance himself? Like most conservative leaning Democrats, most of his positions are potentially liberal enough to pass for a lot of our voters, at least since he decided to switch and support abortion.

But we're in a battle for the future of our nation, and his repeated efforts to make trouble in the house do not appeal to this liberal, and his efforts to oust Pelosi from the critical position of speaker were inexcusable. At that point, the house simply had no other candidate who even came close to her exceptional talent, experience, power and stature, and respect from her peers.

Note that Ryan is not exactly admired by those peers. He initially offered himself for speaker even though he had no leadership experience whatsoever (!!!), and of course his peers turned him down emphatically. Their own careers and hopes and dreams for serving their nation depend on having a strong speaker. Someone most dislike and don't respect, who's ruled himself out for even a modest leadership position, just won't do.

Exceptions, of course, were his fellow blue dogs who needed his help to oust Nancy, with whom he was able to force a probable term limit on the ONE woman among the 12 top leaders of the two parties. Six Democrats, and he felt no need to impose term limits on any of the 5 men?

And THIS mostly failed effort is the only thing that makes him stand out among at least 18 candidates who can match and/or trump his liberal positions. He also, critically, has no achievements that make him stand out even from his 224 house colleagues, and, critically, he has no other qualifications to be president.

To my mind, in this period of great national emergency, his willingness to hurt our party for really stupid self aggrandizement (WHAT did he gain?) reveals him to be seriously lacking the right stuff.
