Hillary Clinton: She's tough as nails, and fit for the job

The presumptive Democratic nominee isn't just the most qualified woman to be president, she's the most qualified person, period.

I had an unexpected reaction last week to President Obama’s “coronation” of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic contender for president. It was unexpected, because this whole election has been so distasteful and ugly. Frankly, I have watched in such horror as a racist and xenophobe inches closer and closer to the White House that I haven’t even really weighed in on a Democrat.

I have felt, in the past and in this election, that our latent sexism and misogyny is on full display in both men and women as Hillary Clinton repeatedly has been held to different standards than her male counterparts. I have cringed at my own sexism as I’ve wished she looked more attractive and dressed younger. As I wished she were more charming.

And then last week happened, and Obama said there is no one more uniquely qualified for this job, and I felt such excitement.
...
I feel as though she is me, and you, and every other smart-as-hell woman who had to scrape for what men take for granted. She should be the next president of the United States not because she is the most uniquely qualified woman, but because she is the most uniquely qualified person, period.
