Kids weigh in on female president in roundtable with Kimmel, Hillary Clinton

Ask kids what they think and they'll tell you, no matter how sensitive the topic. When Jimmy Kimmel sat down with a group of youngsters to talk politics and gender, they expressed their divided opinions, even after Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton dropped into the discussion.



After establishing that the current president ("O-rock Obama") is nearing the end of his time in the White House, Kimmel asked the kids how they felt about the idea of a female president. There was a clear divide: The girls thought a female president could do just as well (or better) than a man, while the boys weren't convinced.

"They'll probably like, decorate the White House and make it all girly," said one of the boys. "They might even paint it pink."

The genders were divided on nearly every issue, including a female president's potential for leading during wartime. When Kimmel brought Clinton into the room, there was also a gender divide over who could identify her (The girls knew who she was).

There was one thing they could all agree on, though: Going outside to run around sounded more fun.



Clinton appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday night to talk about live-tweeting the Republican debate, attending Donald Trump's wedding and why she thinks she could beat her husband in an election.
