Or mistaken for marketing when you actually run the R&D team for a tech startup.

Exactly. She earned my vote for other reasons, but I am totally, crazy stoked that a woman is the nominee!! This is historic - a huge moment - and nobody is going to make me feel bad about being excited!

I’m waiting for someone else to say Yay, Hillary! so that they can shoulder the brunt of the anger and conspiracy theories.

Whoop whoop! Let’s get ‘em! RARRRR! (Sorry, I’m just on my way out the door to vote in the California primary right now— I gotta get myself revved up!)

I'm feeling a mix of happy and sad about this because of my mother and aunt. My aunt was a leader in our government and she's not going to live to see the election. At least, my mother migh see a woman elected in her lifetime.

Haters gonna hate but, when all is said and done, and we are 50 years past this, HRC is going to be on a dollar bill, or some monument, or something. The crap this woman has had to go through to get this far, and the pure gumption and chutzpa she has shown in the face of enormous animosity, sexism, and whatever else…

She was born in 2007 and has no memory of a time when we didn’t have a black man as our president. She goes to school with kids from all over. She and her dad speak Spanish at home. She came home yesterday telling me that it’s important to be considerate of fasting classmates during Ramadan.

Her world is so different…

I know this is probably the wrong thing to take from your comment, but I think it’s super sweet and awesome that your daughter has been raised to disbelieve you when you say there have been no female presidents. Like, it is so incredulous to her, so removed from her reality.

I’m emotional today, so I can’t even imagine how she feels. This is huge and important and we should all take a collective moment to realize that. The people who are naysaying and frustrated, I understand that your candidate didn’t get the nomination or you don’t like her or whatever. But seriously, this is a MOMENT.…

I love how even children know it’s fucked up we’ve only had white dudes.

My daughter is almost 9 and she legit thinks that women are not allowed to be president because that must be why we haven’t had one by now. I’m going to let her stay up late tonight and watch.

She also once asked me who the first black president was. I said, Barack Obama, and she said “I know he is one of them, but…

Look, no matter what you think of her, this is pretty awesome. Women could not vote until 1920, less than 100 years ago, much less run for office. Having a black president followed up by a lady would be damn cool 12 (16? please?) year streak for the Oval Office.

My hormones are going crazy today and I’ve cried at every story about Hillary I’ve read this morning (I also cried at the video of everyone saluting Bretagne the 9/11 search dog as she walked into the vet’s office for the last time). Hillary wasn’t my first choice but Bernie has completely lost me the past few months…

Don’t underestimate the lenghths people will go to try to stop Hillary. I don’t think the circus is over yet. But I’m pretty confident Hillary will be the next President, but it’ll be a rough road.

Yes we are. Get hype.

I loved this, thanks for sharing it. She was amazing. She IS amazing. She is so intelligent, so poised, so strong. The fact that she has survived all of the people trying to tear her down over the last 4+ decades and is now our first female presidential nominee is incredible. She has hung in there when most people…

Are we allowed to be excited yet? I have a two year old daughter and this is just such a huge thing for her generation. She gets to grow up knowing you don’t have to be a white male to be president.

Maybe I’m not getting what you mean, but it seems that this is a pretty weird way to view the whole situation. I mean, the letter stands on its own as an awful, awful thing. We don’t need to come up with weird, unfounded theories about why Rasmussen wrote it. You don’t have to be in love with someone, or desperate for…

“for whatever reason” but supports a candidate to the right of Hillary? We know what that “reason” is.

But... Biden is to her right... how does that make sense for the Berners who say she’s not liberal enough? :p
