The icing on the cake would be her running against this country‘s biggest misogynist

When do the nominations close? I'm assuming no one else will run but...

How has American politics gone from: "ask not what your county can do..." to "grab 'em by the pussy"?

It started in earnest with the Southern Strategy, ramped up with the evangelicals in the eighties, fermented with AM radio hosts like Limbaugh, and finally birthed itself in the form of a pussy grabbing con man who benefited from decades of name branding.

It's always been there. I think back to a particular adult of my childhood and two direct quotes:

"I don't hate black people. I just hate ni@@ers."

Upon seeing Kim Bassinger on TV while sitting next to his wife - "I'd give my left nut just to smell her pee."

Trump let all these people say shit like this in public. That's the substance of his cult of personality.
