Hillary Clinton Just Made History

She won what no woman had won before in Iowa.



Hillary Clinton is the first woman ever to win the Iowa caucus, the moment when the voters finally jump into America's presidential selection process. That's not something to ignore.

Yet it seemed weirdly overlooked on Tuesday, as political observers argued over why men who came in second and third actually "won" the contest.

Sure, it was a tight race, but Clinton eked out first place on the Democratic side. The Associated Press on Tuesday morning declared the former secretary of state the winner, with slightly more delegate equivalents than her chief competitor, Sen. Bernie Sanders.

4. Yes she did!

[TBF]

5. Agreed on that one -

she is not my favorite but it is a milestone and I wish the press would focus on something like that rather than it's usual dazzle and bull approach.

On to New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.

7. Thank you for being gracious.

Far too many are trying to diminish her win, albeit a very narrow win, in a state that she and her husband lost in the past.

8. I agree, that would be great.

Ugh, our media has been crap for so long.
Focusing on the real issues apparently doesn't sell ads. :/

I am a smart feminist and recognize that men can be feminists too.................
