She didn't refrain out of any animus toward the women or any belief they were less qualified than the men running. She held her fire because she knows how sexist this country is and how much damage her endorsement of a man would do to the women running.

And I'm sure that had there still been anyone of color in the race, she would have done the same thing for the same reason.

Her statement is a condemnation of sexism rampant in the society she's operating in, not a reflection of her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
