Hillary Clinton Is An Amazingly Brave Woman [View all]

She had to know what she was facing and, as she always does, did it anyway. Yes she lost, she lost, she lost. But she moved the dial forward and the next woman to run might actually become president. But what I think I may admire most is, despite all the negativity that has come her way after she lost… she lost, she lost… and it was 'her fault completely, her own fault'…what I so admire is that she didn’t slink away, cowed. Now... That Takes Courage.
