Hillary isn't just of the Establishment, she is at the tippity top of the establishment heap

She is supported by almost the entire democratic establishment, from liberals to conservative dems. So use that argument for her, but don't claim she isn't establishment because of her gender even if that's the (ill advised) line Hillary herself is using.


With Bernie it's more complicated. He's an outsider elected to the Senate. That's an exclusive club but he's still not part of the democratic establishment. They have not been shy about letting us know that.

Women have progressed up the ranks and some of the upward mobility has occurred precisely because the women have integrated into the good ole boy's club without shaking it up too much.

Like someone said the other day, "We finally have a woman poised for president of the United States, and unfortunately, it's Hillary."

This is how I know when Hillary is in trouble, she plays the gender card.
