Hillary Clinton Makes Herstory 2016. by tracyfemmmm: 6:01am On Jun 08, 2016
And That’s A Wrap For the 2016 Primary Season:
Hillary Clinton claimed the mantle Tuesday night as the first female presidential nominee of a major political party, telling a raucous crowd in Brooklyn, “We are all standing underneath a glass ceiling right now.”
Clinton strongly emphasized the historic nature of her presumptive nomination. “Tonight’s victory is not about one person; it is about generations,” she said. She also sought to bring her rival’s campaign to a close, saying “I want to thank Senator Sanders” even though he has vowed to fight on.
Clinton also used her speech to rip into presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, saying he’s “temperamentally unfit to be president” and that “he’s trying to wall off Americans from each other.”
Meanwhile, Trump, in his speech on Tuesday night, blasted Clinton and said he would be “carrying the mantle” of the Republican party. “We accomplished what nobody thought was possible,” he said, adding he will “lead the Republican party to victory.”
Trump spoke using a teleprompter, delivering a more disciplined speech instead of his usual off-the-cuff remarks.
He said he welcomed all Bernie Sanders supporters who feel alienated by the “rigged” Democratic nominating process. “We welcome you with open arms.”
Trump also tore in to Hillary and Bill Clinton, calling them corrupt. “The Clintons have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an art form.”
Clinton won the New Jersey and New Mexico primaries on Tuesday and Sanders won the North Dakota caucus. California, Montana, and South Dakota remain.
These final state contests of the primary season come a day after Clinton secured commitments from enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination for president, according to an Associated Press count.
Sanders has said he will take his fight to the July convention because Clinton passed the delegate threshold thanks to super delegates — party insiders who can vote for whoever they want whenever they want — and not pledged delegates, who are bound to candidates based on a state’s primary results.
California is still a big state for Clinton. She wants to win there — the polls say it will be close — to show strength going into the general election season against Trump.
One primary remains: the Washington, D.C., contest next week for the Democrats. It’s not expected to change the outcome of the race.

Posters Note : You know sometimes you say to yourself "I'm sure we would have a female president someday" But in the back of your mind you are never really certain. This is coming from my heart when i say that it means a lot to know that mankind is taking a step in the right Direction smiley.

Hehehe, She'll probably be America's first female president. But come to think of it, since 1777, America has never had a female president and because of Nigeria has never had since 1960 then it amounts to gender inequality.

Nice one, Trump is so temperamental to be a president and is the kind of president that'll plunge America into war with another country
