Watch Hillary Clinton Answer Nearly 40 Years Of Sexism

Whether you’re a fan of her politics or not, you have to admire Hillary Clinton’s career: The Democratic nominee for president and former secretary of state, senator, and First Lady has slogged through sexist questions for decades, and yet, they keep coming — year after year, election after election. We may have made progress on “gender issues” as a nation since the seventies, but our most prominent female politician has been forced to answer the same questions despite it all; about “trustworthiness,” “likability,” pant suits, hairstyles, and even comparisons to Lady Macbeth.

Think Clinton’s “trust issue” started this election cycle? Think again. She’s been forced to talk about it for nearly four decades.

...and my Mom's fight throughout her life has been Hillary's fight. It's easy to sense that millions of Americans share that same story.

And the experience of driving my 83-year old Mom to the Polling Precinct during the primary (again), rolling her in, and watching her proudly cast her vote, it is priceless.

My vote for Hillary in November will be because she's the much better choice.

My Mom's vote is for that as well, but for soooo much more.

I think we're going to love the next 180 days.

OP - Thanks for sharing the video.
