I don't get why people say things like this.
A woman just won the popular vote, if the distribution of those votes were a bit different, she'd be the president right now. With a less damaged candidate, with less scandals, more likability (Hillary herself admitted she wasn't a "natural" politician), and perhaps more "current" with the given election cycle (at this time populist and anti-establishment), a woman can DEFINITELY win, as soon as the next election cycle. Comments like this and "whelp, CLEARLY we need to run a white Christian male next time!" literally trigger me.
As long as democrats don't go out of their way to run a candidate to match historically low favorability and likability ratings, we could win with a woman or POC, or whatever.
