Its such ashame. Going for the highest and most powerful office in the land, its great to see Hillary emotional like this. I think she is viewed as stoic, hard, and cold. Women have always unfairly had to walk this line between exuding too much strength for fear of being called angry, bitter, a b*tch, and showing too much sensitivity for fear of being seen as too weak, too emotional. Its a constant dance for women in positions of power and its a real shame, but this was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

at a town hall, if I remember correctly (the location). Yet, when Obama gets emotional, which I appreciate, he gets nothing but praise.

Because I am so happy for Hillary and I remember how devastated I was 8 years ago when she gave her concession speech at the National Building Museum in Washington after losing the primary to Pres. Obama. I was so upset that day. I will never forget it. And now seeing this video 8 years later, well, it means a lot to me, and will to anybody else who remembers that awful day in 2008.
