does anyone have ANY idea what Clinton means...

...when she says, "I can't be establishment because I'm a woman." (Paraphrasing)

Those of us from the 60s and 70s are WELL AWARE of what the establishment is, does, and stands for and I don't recall any sorting out between male and female.

that weren't open to anyone of the rest of us that she is by virtue of it establishment. I don't see glass ceilings here. She could have been President if she actually understood what we want from one enough to make her electable. No doors have been closed to her so she can't claim this shit. This is so damned insulting. Women have been kept out of the process since forever but they don't include her.

About the same percentage as millenial men. I think millenial women KNOW there will be a women POTUS in their lifetime, and are voting their interests rather than their genetalia.

His whole argument there, IMHO, is refuted by the fact that Elizabeth Warren could run and be seen as credible, while not being a member of the establishment.

Hillary isn't as good as her husband at it; he had us defining the word "is".
