Encouraging, but even so, NOTHING to take for granted.
Good to read an article that I agree with!

A sad and curious fact.
Excluding "Hillary Clinton Group" of course!

(67,782 posts)....my thought is that once the primaries roll around and people go in that voting booth, they'll think about what they're doing and vote for Clinton.
Sanders is good, and I like him, but he's the 2015/2016 version of 2004's Howard Dean.

(81,304 posts)The first time Barack Obama got elected, I think one of the biggest weapons in his campaign's arsenal was the sheer fact of him being the First Black President. People wanted onto that bandwagon for the chance to be part of making history. ESPECIALLY the first time. It was one of many reasons to support him, including all the other good ones. When he got reelected, there was still this sense of - "we get to vote for him again/we get to RE-elect the first black President."
This time, I think, Hillary will have some of that same wind at her back. It's time for the OTHER moment to be part of making history. We got a Person of Color over that last hurdle. Now, it's Woman's turn to break through and just get that behind us once and for all. One of many reasons to support her, including all the other good ones. Time to just put it ALL away.
It's the Statement, Stupid.
It's the HISTORY, Stupid.
Or should that be - It's the Herstory, Stupid.
But it's also a terrific and personable and VERY viable woman candidate. It's time to make that statement and take that step. I think there's a reason it's falling into place for Hillary, and she's extra ready, now. Now like no other time, because we've never had this high-quality a woman candidate before, and it might be awhile before we find another one of realistic, viable, credible Presidential material. What other woman do you know who has that kind of gravitas that you honestly COULD see her sitting behind the Resolute Desk? It's the first time in our history that this is actually imaginable and not a statement that invites nothing but belly-laughs and rolled eyeballs and you-gotta-be-kidding sneers. I think all the planets are aligning uniquely at THIS moment, with THIS woman candidate on the ascendant at THIS time.
I've always thought she was gonna do great things. From the first time I became aware of her when Bill was first running for President in 1992.
