but he's a loyal Democrat and will live to see both.

I'm a Berner through and through, but this made me cry.
History in the making. We do live in interesting times.

She pasted away 2 months ago but I know she would have been proud to have a woman President!

(10,828 posts)5. My 88-year old mother-in-law
who hasn't voted in 15 years asked me to register her and request an absentee ballot in time for the November election. She is disgusted by Donald Trump and wants to cast a vote for Hillary Clinton. Woman to woman, she said.
And, of course, I agreed, sending in the registration request last week.
Very cool.
