..............
Morales said she lost her election to a popular fourth-grade boy in her mixed-grade class at Friends Community School, a private Quaker school in Maryland. She was named vice president after six ballots were found to be filled out incorrectly, losing a second election by one vote.
While I know you may have been disappointed that you did not win President, I am so proud of you for deciding to run in the first place, Clinton wrote to Morales. The most important thing is that you fought for what you believed in, and that is always worth it.
As you continue to learn and grow in the years ahead, never stop standing up for what is right and seeking opportunities to be a leader, and know that I am cheering you on for a future of great success, the former first lady, senator and secretary of State wrote.
The 8-year-old told the Post that she was very surprised to get a letter from Clinton, who was the first woman to be a major partys presidential nominee.

One of the great pleasures of my life was when I realized that the first line in this song could be written as, May the Force be with you always.

Hillary has so much class. And she so vastly outclasses that moron who cheated her out of her own rightful victory. And, unlike that other great white fail, it was a victory she earned WITHOUT having to CHEAT.
