"Frankly, I put some of the blame on the ‘leave it blank people’ and partially on the voters that ‘just could not vote for that woman.’ it wasn’t the first time we heard those words and sadly I don’t think it’s gonna be the last time."


Just so I didn't have to repeat everything.

I'd hold an option out for her - smart, compassionate, experienced; but also afraid a white (probably) straight male may be who we have to have to gain back the Presidency.
Not too much is hard and fast right now for me. I'll see how events, and people evolve.
Hopefully we get The House and The Senate this Nov!
