As a woman I'm glad America hasn't had a female president yet, as the one woman who got closest to obtaining that position would have made us all look bad

Like if someone is going to be 'the first' at something, you want that person to be among the best and brightest of their group. I feel that in 2008, Barack was among the finest men of his background they could have voted for. In 2016, women didn't exactly have their finest representative on the ballot, far from in it fact. So it's good she lost. The first woman president should be a woman of perfect reputation. Someone who isn't shady or corrupt in any way, without any sketchy foundations backing her and foreign interests paying for her campaign.
