15. It is never the job of an outgoing president or party to 'set things up' for the next.

The candidates need to make their own noise, their own mark on the electorate.

Harris did her best - the electorate wasn't listening, wasn't ready for a female president.

Same happened to the previous female 'almost' president.

"More than 50 women have sought to occupy the highest office in the land."

America, the land of the free - and the land of racists and 'never a female president' misogynism.

Strange - other countries look for competence, not skin color or gender.
