74-Year-Old Woman Tells Hillary Clinton She's Tougher Than a Man


Anyone watching Hillary Clinton’s town hall in Nevada may have done a double take when an elderly voter stood up and gave her an unusual message of support.

Calling Clinton "Big Mama," she said the Democratic hopeful has "got the b**** that the men don't have," the elderly woman said during the town hall.
..................


Clinton welcomed the compliment, laughing along.

The woman said earlier that Clinton "is better than Superman."

"I feel very blessed to be here with you all you people, to greet our big mama,” the woman said. "She's the mother to us all. I consider it our privilege. I thank God she is here."

My dad is 98 (soon to turn 99): that's elderly. Bernie Sanders is 74 (or will be in a few weeks). Are we sure we want to call 74 "elderly"?

I know a lot of active 74 year olds.
