106. Priorities.

For Hillary, women's rights are front and center. With Bernie, it's on the back burner.

Hillary has always used the bully pulpit to champion women's rights, like her 1995 Beijing Women's Rights speech. I am not aware of any speeches Bernie has given on women's rights. At best, he'll throw in something about how women should have wage parity when he's doing a speech on income inequality. Hillary immediately came to Planned Parenthood's defense when the O'Keefe video came out. Bernie waited days, and it was hardly a full-throated defense of Planned Parenthood.

With Hillary, I know women's rights will be a priority, that women will have a tireless fighter working for them.
