For the life of me I don't understand why I am supposed to celebrate that we have now nominated a Female multi-millionaire who is a Wall-street favorite and prone to international 'adventures'. I wouldn't vote for a man with that background if I had a choice, but I'm supposed to be excited because she is a woman.

I guess it matters what kind of plumbing you have when you run for president, but take heart, at least you can use the restroom of your choice.

An assist, that's putting it mildly. chapdrum Jun 2016 #1
