15. Hillary not only blazed trails and broke barriers, she really exposed
Tue Sep 12, 2017, 07:14 PM

perhaps more than anyone else ever has just how ugly and deep misogyny is in this country.

How ugly and how deep? The extreme right wing in this country has hunted her like an animal for 30 years pouncing on every misstep and creating a massive pack of lies. They have left no opportunity to smear her behind and they have used every resource available - the press, the internet, rumor mills, word of mouth - you name it and it has been used to hunt Hillary.

Yet she was a great secretary of state, a great senator and the first female presidential candidate of a major party. She actually won the election and (IMHO) had it stolen from her.

And the extreme right will continue to smear and belittle her for century or more after she is dead.

However, Hillary continues to survive these unending and vile attacks. Had her opponent been treated as she is and was, he would have snapped long ago.

I tell my daughters that Hillary Clinton deserves to be the most admired woman - actually person - for what she has accomplished and what she has withstood.

Sara Huckabee has no idea what Hillary has endured so that someone like Huckabee could stand in front of a roomful of reporters and lie her ass of everyday.
