Hillary Clinton:
If she was a man ©2016
Hillary Clinton has been a First Lady. She has been a U.S. Senator. She has been a U.S. Secretary of State. Barring a miracle, she will be her party’s nominee for president of the United States in 2016.
Given her credentials, if she was a man, the upcoming presidential election would be a no-brainer. She would be an overwhelming favorite in a race against a demagogue/reality TV star. But she’s not a man nor a reality TV star.
Hillary Clinton is the real deal. No doubt, there are those who still don’t believe a woman should be president no matter how qualified just like there are people who don’t believe woman should hold other positions in society. Man or woman, if the person has the smarts, the skills, the temperament, and compassion that person should be elected to the highest position in the land.
Before reality TV made Americans dumb and dumber, Americans never would have considered an egotistical, cartoon character as a serious presidential candidate. Let’s hope the nation still has more sensible people than stupid people.
Enter Bernie Sanders. He doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the election. Yet Sanders, who identifies as a socialist; not a Democrat, seems to be more on a wild-eyed ego trip than electing a Democrat with progressive views.
His ego trip could very well cause unnecessary division and weaken Clinton's chances of defeating Trump. Should that happen, how will he and his followers feel about that.
