Let's get first woman president right

In our eagerness to have the first woman president, aren't we overlooking the possibility that if Hillary wins, she is likely to go down in history as not just the first woman to serve as president, but also the most corrupt individual to ever hold this high office? Do we want this negative association with our gender? To paraphrase President Obama, aren't we better than this? We have women governors of states, women in Congress, and women executives in corporations. If we start now, don't you agree that a qualified woman (or women) could be vetted and found capable to run for president in the near future? Taking time to get this right is worth it.
