In reply to the discussion: My 86 year old mother getting angry........... [View all]Il_Coniglietto
(373 posts)12. Michelle got it exactly right last night.
And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.
I've seen this so many times. Older millennials like myself remember some of the (first) Clinton Administration and saw first hand how Hillary was treated. We are more likely to support her than younger millennials who only know what they've read/been told. For nearly 30 years now, Hillary has been THE lightning rod for those angry at women having the temerity to get involved in politics.
But she has always been with us and we are with her!

If they badmouth the Democratic candidate and vote elsewhere, they are choosing to help Trump.
