the best part

Make no mistake. Much of the negativity swirling around Hillary Clinton today is deeply rooted in long-standing sexist press themes rather than reality. Republicans are as horrified at the prospect of a woman becoming President as they were about a Black guy being President.

When you hear questions framed like the ones in the video above, or you hear media allowing the frame that she is a "horribly flawed candidate," allow yourself the space to consider that it is their perception only. It's something they've invested in for 40 years now, and they're unlikely to let it go anytime soon.

I recommend that everyone read the emails too, or at least a chunk of them. When you do, you'll discover what I did: Hillary Clinton is no monster. She's a wonky, caring public servant who has a firm grasp on reality and policy

about a Black guy being President.

Yes, they are. But there are Democratic men who aren't real good with women in leadership too.

That's a big first for any democratic candidate in many years. It was on MSNBC a bit ago.

Reading the mundane emails of day to day led to that conclusion. Not skipping through them looking for something to be wrong.
