    According to Steinem, Clinton and other qualified female candidates could not use the same style as Obama or Bill Clinton. If they did, they would be considered too emotional. There is no ”right way” for a woman to be in a powerful public role without being considered a “bitch.” Steinem declares her support for Clinton over Obama because Clinton has “no masculinity to prove.” She writes about her concern that Obama was seen as unifying due to race while Clinton was seen as divisive about gender.…

    It was the summer of 1789 and the Constitutional Convention had just finished its debate on a new governing document, which would be imperfect but audacious for it’s time. As, he walked down the streets of Philadelphia that day, Dr. Benjamin Franklin was stopped by a woman, who asked, “Sir, what form of government have you bequeath us?” to which Dr. Franklin replied, “a Republic, if you can keep it.” 227 years later, through a fratricidal war, the stains of slavery and Jim Crow, two world wars, and countless financial crisis’, through both the highs and lows of the American story, I believe it safe to say that we have done exactly what Dr. Franklin implored us to do in so long ago in 1789. However, 2016 presented us with new challenges in what…

To the Republicans, she was seen as a liar, a criminal, untrustworthy, and even a murderer for her acts against the Benghazi troops and the email scandal. Clinton was caught using her private email to send and receive government based emails, almost 31,000 at that (Zurcher). Contrasting to the numerous presidential elections in the past, neither Clinton nor Trump were seen as prestigious candidates, leaving America with a tough…

    Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of America’s most notorious and profound lawbreakers. The Clinton family has been monopolizing the ideology of, the already distrusted, political system.

As Louis Brandeis once said, “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” Bill Clinton decided that it would be best to fire everyone in the White House’s Travel Office and replace them with his elite Hollywood friends.…

    Alyssa, I like your perspective on Hilary Clinton, I too have always liked Hilary despite the scandal like you said. Hilary has always been about her people and help work to get college students what they need to get through college. I would have to agree I attend CTC and A&M and the money I receive for my Pell Grant goes towards paying for my classes and a little of what I have left goes straight towards books and materials. Hilary is trying to do the right thing and feed off of what Obama has already put in place to make things even better and that's one thing I really like about her. I may not agree 100% with Hilary political views…

This means that there will be a new acting president and vice-president this January.…
