    She has zero political experience, biggest claim is being attached to Oprah, and several claims of toxic environment which led to her campaign manager leaving. She doesn’t have a good poll turnout. Zero chance.

      several claims of toxic environment which led to her campaign manager leaving

      They say that about every female politician, including Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris.

      Heaven forbid that a woman raise her voice sometimes.

            Her campaign was collapsing anyway because it wasn’t doing well and they were running out of money. I suspect that was the bigger issue.

          Just google “politician abusive to staff” and count how many women pop up on the first page of results.

          No one cares if a man raises his voice to his staff. When a woman does it, it becomes tabloid and blog fodder.

          Men particularly feel indignant if a female boss chastises them.
