Hillary is the biggest — but she’s not the first.

Many news outlets reported that Hillary Clinton’s clinch of the Democratic nomination made her the first woman to head a national ticket.

Not even close.

Clinton is merely the first woman to earn a major party nod — but she follows these party standard-bearers who also tried to break the ultimate glass ceiling:

Gracie Allen got 42,000 in 1940. (”Say Goodnight, Gracie” was 18 years later)

They’ve been careful to incude the “major political party” qualifier from the beginning.

I noticed that when she used the “glass ceiling” metaphor in her speech, three of her idiot supporters, in the background, actually looked up.

“known felon”..........

We all know she is indeed a felon but the problem is she has not been indicted let alone convicted. I fear we will never see her in orange colored jail attire, where she definitely belongs. No matter what happens to her elected or not, odumbo will decree she be absolved of any wrong doing for the rest of her life. She’s definitely Teflon coated. My guess her casket will be coated with Teflon as well. How can one person attain such a position?

Isn’t it funny how you just know it’s a liberal woman by how she looks? What is it about liberal women? Although, Jill Stein’s sort of a babe.

Someone ought to get these facts to Megyn Helly who has been orgasmically gushing in her recent remarks that Hillary is the first woman candidate.

Cult leaders are above reproach, until they are brought down, typically, by outside forces. Check every word out of her mouth to determine its application to herself. When Hillary condemns Trump it is inevitably with words that more appropriately describe herself. Cult leaders always attribute to others outside the cult the very crimes of which they are guilty.

No...folks Megyn is right...except that Hillary “Rotten” Clinton is the worst “first woman” nominated by a major politcal party. Her nomination will lead to the destruction of Clinton, Obama & a good portion of the current Democrat Party!!! Come, November 8, 2016, you will all see the wisdom and truth of my words & correct prediction of things to come!!!

The overwhelming number of Americans recognize & realize that the country is headed in the wrong direction and,....they have no faith in both the GOP & Democrat Establishment Parties!!! After Trump wins the POTUS election in a massive landslide victory....both major political parties wil change radically...or they will no longer exist.

She'd have been an upgrade over FDR. Her party was the Surprise Party.
