Gerald Ford's surprising prediction from 1989: How America will get its first female president (video)

Interesting prediction. I do like how he’s all, “and watch out, guys. Once everyone sees that a woman can do the job, men won’t get another chance.” (To paraphrase.)
I remember talking with my dad when I was a teenager in the early ‘90s, I can’t remember which election, but I wanted a woman for the VP nominee and he said, “they’ll never elect a ticket with a woman in that role because then a radical feminist would just assassinate the President to put the woman into office.”
Glad to see that hasn’t been the case, and retrospectively disappointed in my dad for thinking that, and being SO sure about it.
@CCinBmore and @Naltrexone - I noticed the “Democrat,” bs, too. Just recently I started wondering why, when in print, writers/editors don’t use the (sic) indicator when printing the incorrect term as spoken. By not doing that, the media producers are being complicit in pushing double-speak. :rage:
