My train trip home from NYC was ruined by the two women in front of me
loudly discussing politics for 12 hours. They both vowed that they would
never vote for a woman because women are too emotional and, besides, the
Bible clearly says that women should not be leaders. They should obey
their men. Both women said that if the election was today, they would vote
for Jeb Bush. One woman was African-American, the other one was White.
They were both originally from the South but now live up North.
