36. Probably a little bit better.

Wed Jul 9, 2014, 01:06 PM

Jul 2014

Hillary and Obama was an extremely bitter fight since it was a very historic primary. It was the first time that a Black Man and a Woman had a very real chance in becoming President.

So the supporters wishing for a first of one or the other as President understandably gets very strong feelings about it.

Now that it has happened, it just isn't the same.

It would probably be a little less bitter than the Republican Primary in 2012, where there were also candidates who had a decent shot in winning the candidacy. It would also be a whole lot less of a clown show.
