United States of America was historic, and witnessing the "first" female President of the United States of America is historic and he is amazed.

My mom was a lifelong republican. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2008 and before she became completely bedridden, she changed her party affiliation and registered as a democrat specifically so she could vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary. She died a few weeks later. I've saved this sticker they gave her when she voted...saved it for 8 years and I'll bring it with me when I vote for Hillary in the primary and then the general. Can't wait.

There are a zillion reasons OTHER than gender that factor in to why I support Hillary. But even so, it is pretty freakin awesome so be able to be a part of electing the first female POTUS.

I like her policies and I was completely convinced after listening to all 11 hours of the Benghazi hearings...she will be a remarkable president.

And I just love that the first woman president will be a democrat!

and the issues affecting us is of critical importance and must be addressed. That is something Hillary can and will do. The 100% of women who have been excluded from political leadership is a disgrace that finally has a chance of changing! That is also something Hillary can do! That is the revolution that can truly emerge from this election. It is a win/win. Those who claim that "identity" is not important are often those for whom it isn't. It is such a privilege to be part of this history. And it is one we should be celebrating unapologetically!
