Bill Clinton has unexpectedly thrown his fellow Democrats under the bus, making an unintentional case for conservative women’s potential success in politics. During an appearance on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the former president responded to questions regarding the electoral defeat of his wife, Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Kamala Harris against Donald Trump. His assertion? The next female president of the United States may very well be a conservative Republican instead of a left-wing Democrat. This revelation comes as a refreshing twist, challenging the narrative that the Democratic Party is the true “party of women.”
In the interview, Clinton reflected on Americans’ readiness for a female president and mused about the political landscape shifting to the right, attributing this to societal turmoil. He mentioned that if Hillary had run in 2008 instead of 2016, she would have likely waltzed into the White House, just like Barack Obama did. This little stroll down memory lane raises eyebrows, especially considering he seems to overlook the fact that it was voters who ultimately decided his wife wasn’t fit for the job.
Bill Clinton continues to passively destroy Kamala:
He says it would be easier for a "Conservative Republican woman" to become President than a Democrat…

Clinton suggested that sexism plays a role in women’s electoral challenges, a strikingly ironic stance given the Democratic Party’s apparent embrace of radical feminism and transgender rights. The former president sees endless cultural battles as obstacles for women running for office, which comes off as quite comical. If anything, the pervasive influence of leftist ideologies like radical feminism is likely more damaging to the party’s image than any supposed misogyny from a conservative perspective.
In a surprising twist, Clinton acknowledged that it might indeed be easier for a conservative Republican woman to achieve electoral victory, referencing Margaret Thatcher, a figure who stands as a paragon of conservative leadership. By nodding to Thatcher, Clinton inadvertently highlights a potential chink in the armor of the Democratic Party’s claims of being the champion of women. If the first female president is more likely to be a conservative, it raises the question: just what is the Democratic Party doing about empowering women, aside from promoting their agenda of unrestricted abortion?
The blatant hypocrisy of the left is further illuminated by Clinton’s comments. While the Democrats prattle on about being the women’s champion—largely due to their own interpretation of what that means—Clinton’s revelation suggests that a woman on the right might just break through that glass ceiling first. His admission undermines the party’s refrain that the GOP is some fortress of misogyny, particularly when the possibility of a conservative woman in office beats Kamala Harris’s dismal record of political failure.
