    Hey now. We don’t elect women with a strong and documented history showing good judgement, ethics or moral character; and instead we try to find problems with them so that we can retroactively justify throwing away a vote and really a country on some no-name no-chance third party gamble. Bonus points if they married or were VP to a -± gasp -± imperfect president already.

    It’s just the American way.

      My biggest problem with Hillary Clinton’s presidential run is that the DNC put their finger on the scales for her. She did not earn it, she was not owed it. The air of entitlement the entirety of the Democratic leadership showed was shameful, especially for a party named after popular votes.
