Presidential ballot: should it be a requirement to have one male and one female potential candidate?

Question

on each political party's ticket, or how should candidates be nominated?

Answer 1

Definitely no. Gender doesn't mean anything if the candidate is an ignorant moron, power hungry, pushed/ nominated by the national party dem or rep. Candidates should be nominated by their experience, leadership and knowledge.

Answer 2

No, it should not be a requirement.  Women do not need handouts.  However, young girls do need strong women to whom they can look up and respect.  Instead, let's just nominate strong leaders.  If they are women, that's great.  If they are men, well that's okay too.  I think that would create more hostility than there already is, and we may not get the best candidates that way.

Answer 3

So your idea to eliminate gender discrimination is to force people to consider gender when making decisions?

Doesn't make any sense to me.

Answer 4

Sure, why not.

Then we would also have to have a black person, probably two, male and female, then a bald person, someone in a wheelchair, fat people, thin people, tanned people, Asian, people with and without moles, people with bad acne, no acne, college degrees and high school drop outs...etc.

All regulated by the government.

Answer 5

Nah, unless we want another long Clinton vs. Obama fight. Maybe with another woman, NOT Hillary.
