You're welcome to quote him making that assertion."Bill called himself the first black president when he wasn't black..." PP #65
I don't recall such assertion from him directly.
But I'm fully aware he's been called that by others, though I can't quote them at the moment.
Nikki Haley
I don't doubt Ambassador Haley's political ambition. She may opt to run as soon as 2020.
Let's wish her well.
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18
Would be interesting to hear Rana, Owl and Christiefan's opinion. Would you rather see a Democratic male as President or a Republican woman such as Condi Rice or Nikki Haley?
The premise of course being how important is it to have a woman President. Is it important enough that you would vote for/support one who has different political beliefs than you.
I wish more women would be able to run competitively in Republican primaries. The benefit to the country would be enormous, because (Sarah Palin not withstanding) on balance and on average, Republican women tend to be nominally more moderate that the mouth-breathing male contingent of the party.
The problem is Republican voters have not, do not, and will not for the foreseeable future make electing women and minorities a priority. Don't take my word for it. Look at the U.S. Congress, in which the GOP delegation is about 90 percent men, and about 95 percent white, give or take.
That right there tells you everything you need to know about the priorities of Republican voters.
Now there's a woman I could get behind....

^A fairly typical Republican male response, I would venture.
