And to those who are trashing "she just had to be the first woman president" you are wrong and mtnsnake has it right. All through the campaign I listened to her supporters ooh and ahh over her being the first woman president as if nothing else mattered. And yet, other things really did matter.
And stop trashing Bernie. Had the primary been fair, he'd have been the nominee. Never forget that plenty of polling showed him beating Trump and her losing to him. He did campaign for her, but she really did have too much damage, plus a lot of new stuff, plus her campaign never talked about things like climate change. Meanwhile, Trump said lots of things too many people wanted to hear: things like what's wrong with this country are illegal immigrants, muslim extremists, voting fraud.
My sincere hope is the Elizabeth Warren will hammer on Trump ceaselessly and she will become our next President.
