Amy Schumer Shows What Hillary Clinton Can Expect as First Female President

On her Comedy Central show this week, Hillary Clinton supporter Amy Schumer embodied everyone’s biggest irrational fears about the first female president.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/12/amy-schumer-shows-what-hillary-clinton-can-expect-as-first-female-president.html

Amy Schumer has made no secret of her love for Hillary Clinton, expressing her support close to a year ago and dancing with the candidate on The Ellen DeGeneres Show a few months later. On Thursday night, she did her best to put to rest any clichéd worries about a woman in the Oval Office.

After a Veep-inspired opening in which we learn that “Amy Schinton” has been elected the first female president of the United States, Inside Amy Schumer launched into a sketch that summed up every man’s biggest fear about what might happen if someone of the opposite sex is in charge.

“I got my period on my first day?” Schumer’s president character says after discovering she also has 200 million new Twitter followers. “OK, OK, OK, you can handle this. It’s not ideal for the first day. It’s not amazing. But you can do anything. You’re the president.”
...
Later, while meeting with an Israeli official, she snaps at him for taking the last piece of chocolate. “You’ve been eating all of them, you could have just at least asked me!”

I skipped down to the article below not knowing it was different because the page was jumping all over the place..

And, this is what I have to say about that..

Hillary Hate Fan Fiction Feeds Trump

Yep, Hillary's going to be going up against some enormous a$$holes in the GE.. but she's had good practice.

Yes, I have noticed that with some links lately. It's a real pain.

What really pisses me off is that so much of the "hate fan fiction" is posted so regularly and so often on DU. But I have full confidence that she will survive that too.

Clinton Most Admired Woman for Record 20th Time http://www.gallup.com/poll/187922/clinton-admired-woman-record-20th-time.aspx

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans again name Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama the woman and man living anywhere in the world they admire most. Both win by wide margins over the next-closest finishers, Malala Yousafzai for women and Pope Francis and Donald Trump for men.


Granted, the article is from Dec 2015. But still ...
