2. In the long run

3. Perfect!

That is the best response I've read! Feminist and tough

4. So true.

and especially true for mothers.

Mothers are not allowed sick time, you just soldier through.

7. My wife has

to be almost deceased before calling in sick and she gets, earns actually, sick time. Me, myself, I'm not that dedicated.😩

9. lol

17. I assume, I know - never ass-u-me,

this would be true of the "stay-@-home" moms. Okay, while I've never been a stay at home "mom" I have, in fact still am, Mr. Mom. I've worn that title since 18 NOV 2005. No time to get sick! My wife joked, while I was cleaning, "a house husbands work is never done." 🙄😩

5. Do not know if I like this

Yes, it applies to Hillary especially when compared to Drumpf....

Maybe it is personal to me, I'm in a situation where my wife is in a chronic state and I dare not mention my own illnesses, meaning I constantly am soldiering thru downs to keep things together. So, I am particularly sensitive to the gender label here.

10. Sorry, really I am,

about the way I talked about my wife having to be "almost deceased" before using sick time. Just afte I posted it I saw your post. I meant no offense.

[Lithos]

16. No offense taken

To be honest, i understand why people think of women first here so many are thrown under the bus, just want people to understand it's not just women.

However, this is not a discussion, Drumpf and his lot would not understand nor care to discuss. I know Hillary gets it, though I also understand that until major changes occur Congress does not.

6. 'Powering through' should have been hashtagged to get this trending

[gabeana]

8. I think the campaign

needs to put an add out using this type of sentiment

12. One of my favorite jokes is that of Dave Barry who says (tongue firmly in cheek), "Women will

never make great infield baseball players, because, given a choice between catching an infield popup or saving a baby, they will save the baby every doggoned time! They don't ask who is ahead in the game, how important the game is in the series -- oh no! They'll just save that baby!"

Yup! Women definitely have their priorities a lot more in order than men do.

Go Hillary!

13. Great Q & A Broadcast

Q&A with David Cay Johnston David Cay Johnston talked about this book The Making of Donald Trump, in which he takes a critical look at the 2016 Republican presidential nominee.

15. Welcome to DU, mobeau69!

David Cay Johnston is wonderful! Every now and then he pops up on MSNBC, and he's relevant and incisive every time.

14. It's a nice sentiment.

But there is no room for heroics here. She has to be elected. It's out in the open now, which means she can do what I'm sure the Dr's are recommending: rest and recover.

A month from now this will be just a footnote.....as long as she takes care of herself.
