I’ve posted this quite a few times, but each time it’s relevant and longer than before. Note - each of the following came from Hillary, from one of her drones, or from a pro-Hillary article; I am not creative enough to have made these up:

I guess Hillary doesn’t know that Kelly Ann Conway was the first woman in history to direct and win a Presidential campaign.

Women who were not stopped by “The Game:”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elected_and_appointed_female_heads_of_state_and_government

These women got elected heads of state. HRC failed, so I would say it’s down to HRC, not some phantom “game.”

Add to the list of why men are needed: to mow the lawn. My Dad would never let Mom mow the lawn.

Your above post is offensive. I cringed.
