Tears still freely flowing...

Women leaders seem to have more balanced priorities - more humanitarian and grounded (generalization, but my observation). Not only can we walk and chew gum at the same time..wonder why...but we seem to be more life-affirming and less apt to resort to violence to solve problems. Obviously, there is a range, but this is a generalized observation on my part.

Michael Steele just called her "formidable." Great adjective for her!

“Formidable!”

watching her stand there with the children, the actual future of our country, was extremely powerful. A visual representation of why things need to change.

Very powerful!

or, are some of them grandkids?

Either way, nice gesture.

Plus you have children of other members there.

I know the CSPAN camera had shown Eric Swalwell multiple times rocking one of his wee ones just born this year!

the White House will have a baby there first time since JFK!

This would be nice.

He seems to be one who could not only tap into and promote his midwest roots (despite being a representative in Northern CA), but his connections to the millennials, being that he is one) and up-and-coming Gen Zers.

... back in 2007 ... invited all the kids up to watch with her.
I'm glad she did it again ... sends a GREAT message!

He ranted on and on about how with women in office the 'hallowed halls of govt' would be filled with crying babies, running kids, and nobody could get anything done!

That rant was right up there with his advice to young conservative men. --Liberal girls with their loose morals are great to mess around with. But you want an upstanding moral conservative girl to be your wife and the mother of your children!9

This was a beautiful moment in our history!!!!! I cannot help but compare this image to the optics of Trump’s “briefling” today where he is flanked by Border Patrol personnel talking about his precious wall. The border patrol guys all had shaved heads and looked like tough mafia types.
These images and politics are polar offsides. This is why we need more and more women in leadership in our country.

What a joyful, historic moment!

I too am proud to be an American woman today!

this wonderful, smart woman, who is looking out for the children of this country and will NEVER give in to Trump!

Today was our day.

Unfortunately I missed it, hopefully I can catch it later.

I saw bits and pieces but will try that eventually.
