Like it or not, we need to get used to hearing the phrase “Madame President.” Personally, I’m fine with a woman as president. In fact, it will be the best thing about her election, just as the one thing that cheered me up about Mr. Obama’s election was the fact that he’s black. I just really, really, really didn’t want THIS woman to be president. But the Republican Party decided to oppose the second most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in living memory with the MOST unpopular major-party nominee, thus virtually guaranteeing the return of Clinton Inc. to the White House.
