Hillary Wastes Historic Moment

John Bickley

Hillary Clinton made history last night, becoming the first female presumptive nominee for either party after winning 56 percent of the California vote and securing 257 of the states’ 475 delegates. The historic moment deserved an historic speech. She failed to deliver, wasting half of her speech on standard partisan attacks and demonstrating yet again that she does not have the capacity to inspire the public.

“It may be hard to see tonight, but we’re all standing under a glass ceiling right now,” said Clinton to a victory crowd in Brooklyn. “But don’t worry, we’re not smashing this one. Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone. The first time in our nation’s history that a woman will be a major party’s nominee.”
