The GOP would and could do with a candidate as qualified as Hillary, we would never hear the praises stop. I am happy we have a candidate like Hillary who is qualified on day one to jump into the office of president. And to be honest I will be exciting to have our first female president but Hillary being female is not the reason I am voting for her, it is the qualifications.

Clinton has been at the vanguard of the women’s movement for decades, but the movement has been so successful that young voters, even women, don’t realize how much has changed — and how having a woman as president could complete that Quiet Revolution.

“Women in general are better listeners, are more collegial, more open to new ideas and how to make things work in a way that looks for win-win outcomes,” Clinton told Newton-Small in “Broad Influence.”

Now that’s something worth shouting about.
