26. That's what I fear, too. And I don't like it, either.

It should have been Hillary in 2016. I STILL think she would have made a terrific President. So would Kamala, eight years later, dammit. But that's over, too. I don't see anybody coming up who looks like a good possibility. And now, Hillary's too old and probably doesn't even want it anymore. She doesn't deserve the punishment or abuse or disrespect, either, and I sure can agree with that.

But boy-oh-boy did we miss something REALLY great. HISTORICALLY great. Right now I can't think of anybody on the horizon who could do it, but then again, I can't really see any MEN who seem acceptable, either.
