Madam President.
We are a step closer to making that a reality. If certainty is still needed for some, after the polls close in NJ tomorrow, we will have the first female presumptive nominee for POTUS of a major party.
No one will minimize this event for me. No one will steal it. Clinton has worked her ass off for it, has endured attacks no candidate in history has had to endure, and has flat out earned it.
Onward to November. We have a lot of work to do. Polling shows we are at a great starting point but this is going to be a nasty fight. I never thought electing the first woman as President would look like all of the elections before. The white male is getting increasingly desperate as POC and women are asserting their will like never before. We are taking part in the process and demanding quality representation. We have spoken and will not be quiet.

no doubt be surprised to realize how much unexamined and right-wing-manufactured opposition has its base in her gender.
But while we're on the subject, let's remember that, for all the heroic work of some women of the suffrage era and in spite of many women strongly opposing the right to vote, it was men, and only men, who voted to extend it to women anyway.
The election of a woman to the presidency is an advance welcomed by most Americans, but for those on the right and others affected by the Kool-Aid the right-wing character assassins have been pouring for over 30 years, maybe just not this woman. Just too bad for the latter!
And she will be the party presumptive nominee..
