Only this week has it started to come up, and frequently now, about just how historic this is.

For me, it's been pretty much EVERYTHING. Throughout the campaign. It's been EVERYTHING to me. Well, along with the many other reasons why I have loved, admired, and supported Hillary Clinton ever since I first learned about her in 1992. For me, she's been a shining star and an inspiration for about a quarter-century.
