The ugly "Yes, but..."

In that striking historical hour when Neil Armstrong first placed his foot on the lunar surface, no one rushed in to diminish the importance of that event by saying, “Yeah, but Alan Shepard was the FIRST American in space!” In contrast, it’s astoundingly sad that some Democrats can’t allow even a moment’s celebration of Hillary Clinton’s very remarkable accomplishment.

The bashing goes on, as if it was nothing.

Shoot, Bernie didn't say squat about it.

The "He-Man Girl Haters Club"sign on the door of the clubhouse. Sexism is progressives' dirty little secret and has been for a long, long time.

This wasn't just a victory, it was HISTORIC. Just like when she won the Iowa caucus, not a PEEP about being the first woman to WIN the damn thing. Not ONE.

It doesn't matter what they say now, because so many of us know what happened. We felt it! We know!

It was surprising how powerful it felt! We Know! And were amazed!
