In an interview published last Friday, a 103-year-old woman told CNNs Christiane Amanpour that she must live long enough to vote for Hillary Clinton.
Amanpour spoke to the woman, Ruline Steininger, who lives in Iowa, about Clintons candidacy. Steininger, who was born seven years before women even had the right to vote, campaigned for Clinton before the Iowa caucuses.
The Iowa caucus turned out such a close result between Clinton and Bernie Sanders that the voters Steininger may have swayed to the Clinton camp could have decided the election. You never know, and it certainly is possible.
Amanpour introduced Steiningers dramatic lifespan.
Imagine living through 2 World Wars, the Depression, a man on the moon, cures for polio and smallpox, 9/11, the first black American president, and the digital revolution, she said. That is the amazing 103-year lifespan of Ruline Steininger.
When I reached her at her care home, Amanpour went on, She told me that shes desperate to stick around long enough for the first female American president.

(5,275 posts)That lady has seen a thing or two, Hoover creating Hooverville shanty towns with the old trickle down nonsense and FDR putting people back to work, realizing a rising tide lifts all boats.
I hope this intrepid centenarian lady does cast one more vote against that dangerous charlatan/clown.

(7,906 posts)She looked great at the Iowa caucus.
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can never tell, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
