That's a matter of history.

Thats four times I voted for a woman, count the three times I voted for Hillary, Im pretty sure Im never gonna live long enough to see it actually happen. I was so demoralized when Hillary lost. Considering how badly McGovern was beaten, we wouldve been better off with Chisholm as the nominee I think,

Barbara Jordan was also magnificent, and her death was a loss for us all.
