Listening to CBS rerun Hillary's gushing announcement about the historic moment in history, my husband looked really puzzled. Reaching back to deep history (he was in high school in the 1950s, Arsenal Technical High School, Indianapolis), he said, "Wasn't there a woman many years ago who ran for president?" "Yes," I said, "Her name was Victoria Woodhull." She was born in Licking County, Ohio, and had a rather interesting, chaotic life which included Wall Street brokerage, free love movement, legalization of prostitution, going through several fortunes, journalism, and numerous husbands.

What Hillary said was she was the first nominee of a major party. There likely have been other female candidates for President.
She was bragging about an historic moment. Woodhull did it before women could vote in national elections.
And Don the Con never brags?? haha hoho
Yes, Trump absolutely is an obnoxious bluster. She is too.
