A Week on the Campaign Trail with Chelsea Clinton
Marie Claire ^ | 9/19/2016 | Chelsea CLinton

Posted on 09/22/2016 4:49:56 AM PDT by simpson96

I will never forget the week my mom, Hillary Rodham Clinton, made history as the first female presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party. It was an incredible, hectic, emotional week—and a completely inspiring one. My kids are still young, and I can't wait to share the story of that week with them one day—to show them the picture of my mom and President Barack Obama hugging after his powerful speech, to read to them what I got to say about their grandma in front of the biggest audience I'd ever addressed, and to explain to them how not all that long ago, in my grandma's lifetime, women couldn't even vote. (snip)

This is the first presidential election I'm voting in as a mom. I didn't know I could care any more about politics. Then I was blessed to welcome my daughter, Charlotte, into the world two years ago, and her little brother, Aidan, just five and a half weeks before the Democratic National Convention. Whoever we elect will play a profound role in shaping the future that my children and their generation will grow up in. Politics has become even more personal. With all this on my mind and in my heart—and a car full of children's books (Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo; Good Night, Gorilla; a few Mo Willems pigeon books), two Elmos, diapers—my husband, Marc Mezvinsky, Charlotte, Aidan, and I drove down from New York to Philadelphia.

Monday, July 25

After we arrived, we settled into the hotel,

Lying must be genetic with the Clinton family. Women have had the right to vote nationally since 1920. Hillary was born 1947.

But with Libs, it's all about the narrative. So what if dates are off by 27 or so years. Perhaps this lie offsets the lie about Hillary being named for Sir Edmund Hillary as he didn't climb Mt. Everest until 1953.

This kind of drek is why the Bolsheviks killed the entire Romanov family, kids and all.

We are going to have to live with these kids, kids. They are going to be insufferable

I cannot believe that she drove.

An indulged, soulless brat singing paeans to her crooked, soulless mother. Quite the endorsement, that.

Reading this, you can really see that Stanford-Oxford education shine through.

Raw draft, before editing:

"Dear Diary, hello, you’re a book so you know about things like words which is what these are that I am writing. My mom’s bookie agent toll me I can make like more dollars by writing an artickle for a magazine that old ladies read so this is it!! I was completely aspired by my mom making president lady! She has no penis, which is what I don’t have too! My children’s nanny, I think her name is Consuello or something like that, she reads us books but her voice is all mexicany and I don’t know what she’s saying sometimes, which makes me hope daddy kills her but not really…"

Doesn’t she have two babies at home who need her? Probably has a nanny taking care of them and helping them learn to speak Guacamole. (Credit to the great G. Gordon Liddy)

“not all that long ago, in my grandma’s lifetime, women couldn’t even vote”

Grandma on Bubba’s side born after 19th amendment, grandma on bobblehead’s side born one year before 19th amendment.

I don’t think it really affected her grandmother’s life, and woman would have been voting for 2 decades by the time she was old enough to vote.

You make a very good point, that I certainly overlooked. How did HRC pull off this soccer mom meme, without the press noticing?

The giggles in her speech at the DNC proved she’s sub par in the intellect department

With what I’m seeing, women - older women - who voted for Obama because he’s black, and who will vote for Hillary! because she’s a woman ... maybe we should consider going back to great-granny’s day. Unfortunately, millennials of both (or all 32) genders seem to have the same mindset. “We need a black” or “We need a woman” as their primary factor in voting. By 2020 it’ll be “We need a transgender.” Nothing else seems to matter to so many.

I believe that a lot of the women who "voted for Obama because he's black" really thought "if we gave one of them a chance" it would lessen, not inflame, racial tension. I'm not saying they learned from the mistake, but if they vote for Clinton, it won't be for the same reason.

Yes, they (white women) will ‘identify’ more with Hillary, but in both cases there seems to be an underlying desire to overcome ‘guilt’ for the US not having had a POTUS within either of those demographic slots. Gotta fill the slots.

I have a friend, older white women @70, diehard Democrat, who lives here in Northern VA. She’s been to exactly ONE inauguration of VA governor, and ONE inauguration of POTUS (mind you, the POTUS inaugurations are a Metro ride away in DC, much closer than Richmond). Guess which inaugurations they were? You’d be right if you said Wilder in VA and Obama in USA. The two “first blacks” to fill their respective offices.

I would bet that that woman would go to her 2nd POTUS Inauguration if (God forbid) Hillary were elected.

OY!!! Or maybe, once chosen, ‘suicide’ was the only other option?

Vote for my mother. I carry children’s books on the car. Along with the SS agents, my nanny, and the press.

PS: I breastfeed!
