I hope women show up en masse to vote for Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton has a chance to make history as the first woman to be elected to the office of the United States President.  It would be poetic justice for her to defeat her opponent, Donald Trump, who has in the past boasted about his womanizing.  Women all across the country should of course make the effort to get out and vote not only to vote for Clinton, but to come out in force to show the influence and power that they really wield in America.

Yet, there are some diehard Republican women who think that a notoriously narcissistic, less than reputable businessman is still the only clear choice in this election.  They think that Trump's portrayal of Clinton as part of a broken political system that only an outsider like Trump can repair, is an accurate description of our current situation.   I think that electing a woman president is a better option for helping to change politics in America, although it does look like overall Clinton will pretty much maintain the political status quo.  While I think change may be good, the kind of changes that Trump has proposed will spell nothing but trouble for the United States.  I also do not think that Trump has the political wherewithal to make all the the changes he claims he wants to make.

If Clinton is not elected president, the United States will not have have the opportunity to make history, but it will become history.  Women really need to show their support by getting out to vote for Clinton and show the world how much American women really matter.
