To me, it seems that EW has mostly shown how she overcame being a victim (being confined by past expectations). Showing how that can be done.

It's interesting, because it is like she is saying that she is not a victim, and yet as AK pointed out - RE: a women mayor of South Bend..., women do not still get the same consideration as men.

It seems like the sort of message best left for others to make on their behalf. But AFAIC, the women have more to overcome victim-wise than any of the male candidates - regardless of how they (the men) try to paint the picture.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
