America have now twice ran a female candidate against trump, and twice lost. People forget that trump did not run for president 3 times. He's run for president 5 times.

Uh... He literally didn't, though. He participated in two primaries before 2016, but he never actually ran as the presidential nominee for any party. Trump won twice and lost once, and coincidentally that once was the one time the DNC ran a serious candidate with a real platform that appealed to voters against him. The similarity that the two times they ran fucking jokes they were both women is simply not anything more than correlation here.
