I like reading Styen. Earlier in the article, he insists ALL of the pub candidates are eagerly for including women in the draft.. I wonder why he ignores Cruz’s stance...

"...Hillary Clinton will always be there for you," [Madeline] Albright said. "And just remember — there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other."
