13. Although Hillary Clinton's election will be an historic first...

...it's almost secondary to the stark contrasts between the nominees. Don't misunderstand me: I'm thrilled that we're heading towards this epic event. I'm suggesting that Secretary Clinton has been in the national consciousness for decades and we already know her. She's been heading for this moment for many years. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is not as well known and his daily revelations are mind-bindingly amazing. I just cannot believe the things he says and does. More importantly, with each tweet or other weirdness, he shows how manifestly unfit he is for any position of authority. Frankly, I think he's insane and so does Keith Olbermann:

The subconscious threads of thought generated by a woman president following an African American president will permeate the younger generations. My broadest hope is that Secretary Clinton's presidency is as successful as President Obama's and our nation will have healed many of the horrific wounds we've inflicted on ourselves as a country.

On another note, there are other historical aspects to this election and here's a link to a thread I wrote the other day:

Enjoy!
