But some things only become a problem when the presidential candidate happens to be a woman.

I think you need to learn some history.

http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0130.html

The early life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was typical of a member of a family of wealth and assured social position--an aristocratic family, as aristocracy is measured on this side of the Atlantic.

His birthplace was a stately mansion on the Roosevelt estate, overlooking the Hudson River and set in the midst of broad acres near Hyde Park. The property had been in the possession of his family for a hundred years.


Being wealthy does not mean one will fight to make the wealthy even wealthier. JFK was wealthy, too, by the way.

ETA: In case you didn't notice, Romney was the nominee of the Republican Party. You're comparing apples to oranges. It's something else when Democrats complain about the (earned) wealth of their own party's presumptive nominee.

We're, along with WA and OR, going to send marijuana legalization to the convention and likely the platform.

It matters.

She also said that the issue needs to be studied more.

Same crap they've been saying for the last 50 years. There's nothing new here and it's one reason why she lost Colorado.

Our industry is massive, you have no idea.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Tearing down our nominee. We need to be uniting against Trump, not inplying that the Democrat candidate is the same as Trump.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jun 10, 2016, 07:18 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: For better or for worse, Clinton will be the nominee, and the time for this discussion has passed. Those who didn't find it compelling three months ago sure aren't going to find it compelling now.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Censorship starts next week. This week, DU still has free speech.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Violates DU's election season rules

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

But, even though my remaining time here at DU is brief, I will ignore each and every poster who tosses a "Bernie, but" bomb.

Welcome. I hope as time goes on and you are in the position of defending her you will begin to get to know her better and begin to admire her. That is what happened to me in 2007. I was really hoping Gore would run again and doing everything to try to convince him. When he made it clear to us that he would not, I started defending her supporters online because those attacking them were so nasty. In the process I had to research her and pay deeper attention. To my surprise I really began to admire her. Now I love her like an older wiser better sister.
