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.

Bill Clinton gave young girls something to dream about his whole Political Career.
Taking their Dresses to the Dry Cleaners.
Good points; while blacks are pushing to have white women removed from the “preferred minorities” list (with good cause), they are left on because without the threat of lawsuits employers would opt for men in most capacities. In my experience the promotions of female tokens has allowed many men to reclaim their leisure time by reducing their hours worked to match those of higher-paid, less-qualified women; in this age of technology it is simply too easy for men to document discrimination at work so employers have to simply accept it.
For five years now, I’ve been “working like a girl” and loving it...
Gotta recover the funds your hubby p!ssed away on his hedge hobby.
Lmao
No they can dream about long prison sentences that are equal to men’s.
It’s not that “working girls” don’t necessarily enjoy doing that. And as I said there are exceptions and you may be among the exceptions, but popular culture has perverted the exception to become the rule with the added feature of trying to snuff out what was the rule - God’s plan.
It’s more of a point that by-and-large women would enjoy and be much more fulfilled taking care of their family at home. Deeply fulfilling because it is by-and-large what God created women to do - it is their God-given destiny of peace, happiness, and fulfillment. A substitute doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t like the substitute, but it does mean that, generally, they are settling for a life far below the satisfying, challenging, and meanigful life they could have.
Working girls may enjoy it very much - until they are being worked like men (with no choices). Very bitter at that point...
As for raising children/caring for families, I work with several women who are to selfish for either - and thankfully knew it years ago when they were child-bearing age. It seems many resent their decisions, because they certainly resent the black & Hispanic women who have moved past having children to now being grandmothers (while the childless white women buy replacement pets every so many years as they age & die faster than human children).
As for myself, I have a wife and children and because I “work like a girl” I can be very involved in raising my children instead of living at an office and getting updates electronically. Never missed a sports event, can help with their homework, prepare meals for them - I get to be an actively-involved parent.
OK, well that’s good. Hope the best for you. Thought I was talking to a girl, however. You fooled me, but I think I get what you are trying to say.
Sorry; no, I just “work like a girl” now (otherwise a regular husband and father).
Thanks
OK, kinda like Mrs. Doubtfire - “Dude is like a lady...”
Just kidding. Good luck and may God bless you and your family.
It’s mostly about the personal, naked ambition of this individual female, who is playing the sex card to get power and a place in the history books as First Female, Breaker of the “Glass Ceiling.”
It’s all about here’s how many handouts you’ll get if you vote for meeeee!
Almost nothing about public service, self sacrifice, strengthening the nation, or protecting its people from enemies foreign and domestic.
It’s all about my mother, clearing the way for meeee, to continue the Clinton dynasty in the future.
Sickening.
What, three-ways with Huma and Markie Post in the Lincoln Bedroom?
Thank you, the same to you; FRegards!
