risk 3 in a row (and 3 out of 4 overall) female candidate losses.

If a female wins the nomination, then of course I am 100 per cent all in, but I am too risk adverse to support a female in the primaries.

2028 is the last chance saloon before winning POTUS gets a lot harder for us with the new post 2030 census reapportioned Electoral College map for 2032, 2036, and 2040.

The new map will also likely ratfuck us to a significant degree in terms of controlling the US House.

Whoever gets the nomination needs to earn it through the primary process. And I will willingly support that person.
