PHILADELPHIA – Chelsea Clinton touched on the significance of her mother, Hillary Clinton, becoming the first woman to lead a major party’s ticket just hours before the nomination became official Tuesday night.
Clinton admitted being “deeply biased” toward her mother while speaking at the “Cocktails & Conversation” event hosted by Facebook and Glamour Magazine at the Democratic National Convention. She said Hillary Clinton’s nomination for president gives young girls something to dream about.
“I think it’s really hard for any of us to imagine what we can’t see,” Clinton said. “And so I just am really proud that little girls will be able to redirect their imaginations in other ways, because my mother will have broken down this barrier.”
Clinton was joined by actresses America Ferrera and Lena Dunham, who have stumped for Hillary Clinton from early in the candidate’s campaign. Ferrera also campaigned for the former senator in 2008.
“The fact that we’re making history today and she’s our first woman nominee can never be reversed,” Ferrera said. “None of us have to do that ever again, we never have to be the first again. … Now our daughters, many who don’t exist yet and some who do, will now never know, never, ever, ever, ever have to know why that’s a special thing.”
Dunham challenged the common refrain that voters shouldn’t elect the former secretary of state just because they’re ready to see a female president.
“I keep thinking to myself, we’re not only so lucky to be facing this moment when a woman can be a candidate for president of the United States, we’re so lucky that it’s this woman,” she said.
Later Tuesday, Ferrera and Dunham took the stage together at the convention, delivering a little schtick challenging Republican nominee Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric.

Young girls used to dream about marriage and a home. That’s how God made them. This hideous Women’s Movement is creating some sort of Frankenstein mutation - girls that want to be guys. Yuk.
Young girls cannot stand Hillary .
What an absolute ditz .
We’ve raised three daughters and (so far) two grand daughters. So far, not one of them has ever expressed a desire to grow up to loot their country and finish BO’s job of fundamentally transforming it into another third world $#*+hole.
You nasty little twit - ever hear of Shirley Chisholm?
This little clueless moron is so far above her competency level it isn’t even funny anymore.
What about Sarah Palin being picked as VP?
My daughter is not that stupid. She doesn’t want a husband who rapes women and expects her to lie about it.
Yes, little girl, you too can become a fat ass old corrupt hag that can sell your country out to the highest bidders.
There is a headline with unlimited potential for ridicule.
“Yes, you too can set up bogus charities and scam hundreds of millions from Saudi princes and other enemies. Plus you can sell uranium to our enemies further enriching yourself. Why, you might even set up your own mail server one day and let our enemies walk away with critical top-secret security intel. The sky is the limit for your corruption.”
“Vote for Hillary because she has a vagina” is the current theme of the campaign. Doubtful it will work on women who care about security and protecting themselves and their kids from crime. They’ll vote for Trump.
Lena Dunham needs to climb back onto the toilet, where she does her best work.
Funny, I’ve been around for quite a few years, and since childhood, have been taught that in this country you can be anything, including president, you want to be. As a girl, I wasn’t told that I couldn’t be president. Maybe because I was raised as an individual.
Uh huh. In exactly the same sense that little boys can dream of becoming Al Capone.
There are two women leaders in the Bible, Deborah and Jezebel. The former was the ancient equivalent of Palin or Thatcher, the latter the ancient equivalent of Clinton. I would be happy with any daughter who chose the former as her goal, if she were led to do so.
I don’t remember the details, but I think there was information from Egypt that Clinton helped get those guys power. I may have posted something about it.
A President Palin would have given me something to dream about and I actually pay taxes and vote.
