You know what I'm proud of?
An African American won a primary & a woman won a primary. Both Dems. Both broke the glass ceiling. Both did it in the party of inclusion.

Whether either goes on to win the primary is anyone's guess. But for now they did it. I think that that alone is worth celebrating.

:toast: to the winners & our party!

4. I will instead choose to celebrate the women and men who fought for civil rights.
... early and in the trenches. Those who paid a dear price for Civil Rights.

We should not ever take these rights for granted. :patriot:

5. Kudos!
Women showed up in droves in NH to vote for Hillary; especially older women. Even though we were still making "Get out the vote" calls for Obama at 6:30 PM with 30 min. to go until the polls closed, Hillary's people did a great job getting their people out there.

7. I completely agree.
It's a primary to remember. Even if one of the white, rich guys pulls it off (& I'm fine with any of our candidates getting the nod) still, we made history.
