It is very easy for us to forget that the country we live in is terrified of and offended by women with power. That is true for Democrats as well as Republicans. And it is true for people who will SWEAR that it is not true of them.

A white guy to backstop her will make some voters feel better, consciously or unconsciously.

It's gross, but its reality.

Personally, I want Warren.
