“What I heard from a friend who spent two weeks [in Ohio] is that the most common objections he heard to voting for Obama were (i) he’s a Muslim, and (ii) he’s African American (I’m sure this is not the term actually used). …blamed, I think quite fairly, the Clinton campaign…for helping foment and fan this bigotry.” A friend spent a whole two weeks in Ohio and blames the Clinton campaign for this bigotry???????? I LIVE in Ohio. The Clinton campaign had nothing to do with it.

“I can’t believe women are still whining about this all these years.” Whining? I don’t see any whining. I see women telling the truth of their lives. I also could not take shop, could not have a paper route, and never heard my school guidance counselor say the word “engineer” to me. I was left completely unaware of any possibilities that young women today take for granted. I know a wonderful little four-year-old girl who absolutely loves Hillary. Her mom spends time telling her about how little girls can grow up to be president. (The little girl’s great-grandmother was “given” to a man by her father - here in the USA - in exchange for a piece of land. The man never even bothered to marry her - a horribly shameful state for her back then.) This is not whining. This is emphasizing how far we’ve come and how hard we’ve had to work to get here. (And there is much more to do.)
