I asked this young man who he likes for president. This will be his first presidential election (he's 20). He said he will vote for Hillary Clinton. I asked him why.
He said, "Well its not that I really have much of an opinion on her policies and I really don't have anything against any of the other candidates, I just want to be able to say that I was part of the first woman ever to be elected president of the United States."
It made me wonder how common this is among possible Clinton supporters, and also, the same thing can be said of Obama as far as being the first Black president so I wonder if people are blindly thinking that about that as others are about Clinton.
It is just very scary that people would put 4 YEARS of America's destiny on the line for such a petty and ultimately insignificant reason. If you like her policies or her ideology, fine, but to blindly vote for someone based on sex or race is the ultimate in ignorance.
