6. It's as if BS believes he and he alone owns and operates the rules and bylaws of the Dem Party.

The arrogance! An "Independent" all his life who didn't make anything of his life, ran for public office again and again but didn't amount to much until he was 40 when he finally won an election; who got filthy rich through gov't (est.: $2 million net worth), and who asked to run as a Democrat even though he's quoted as saying he never would because of the ugly things he's said about the Democratic Party, thinks he can come into OUR house and throw his weight around??

Don't think so.

I have ZERO problem that the media chose to report that Hillary Clinton has become the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee. It wasn't as if this was tossed into her lap on a silver platter. She had to work darn hard for it and she succeeded merely through that hard work, making this an historical event: the first time in American history that a woman wins the endorsement of a major political Party, and it should be celebrated not excoriated!

As I've contended again and again, having two women on the top ticket is almost a guaranteed loss for us in November. Look how hard Hillary Clinton has had to work when this should've been a cakewalk for her after the successful accomplishments by President Obama. Were it not for her gender, this would've been a cakewalk. Look how easy it was for BS to get where he is! So it had become clear to me that too many Americans would still vote for a mediocre and elderly male Senator from a tiny State with no legislative record to speak of (and the record that he has is alarming to me) than for an incredibly accomplished woman.

This country is still immensely male-centric, filled with men who loath the idea of having a woman lead this country and women who support that closeted misogyny like the sheep they are. I surmise that they might not mind it too much to have ONE woman at the top but I believe they think that two is just too much of a good thing.

But we got Hillary in, Cha! We did it! We are instrumental in helping to shatter that thick glass ceiling in November, and for that we should PAR-TAY!
