"I'll be damned if I don't see a woman president in my lifetime!"

My husband, a huge HRC supporter, said that this morning...

I have been a Bernie supporter but I cannot see how HRC will not win the Dem debate tonight.

Bernie will do fine tonight, but I think HRC has the team and her own experience to shine through, given the shock we are all feeling from the Paris attack. Sometimes current events happen in the course of campaigns that can change things significantly. I think we are at one of those events now.

people are imagining Hillary will perform as they are hoping but if elected as president you'll see the real hawkish centrist Hillary.

Tonight is just going to reinforce the majority's decision to put her in the White House. Her Foreign Policy experience cannot be ignored or dismissed. She knows what it takes.

if she were the right woman. By "right woman," I mean, to begin with, a woman who is not a neo-liberal.

HRC is not that woman.
