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.

You mean “nightmares”, don’t you Chels?
People who are obsessed with gender are sexists, they’re just too dumb to know it.
She’s been giving me something to dream about, and then I wake up in a cold sweat.

“something for young girls to dream about”?
Yeah, like not not finding a job after graduating from college due to liberal anti-growth policies.
That all depends on how many young girls dream of getting screwed by a sick old man.
Chris Christie Suggests Hillary Clinton Was To Blame For Boko Haram’s Kidnapping Of Hundreds Of Schoolgirls
Chris Christie (R) suggested during a speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention on Tuesday that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was to blame for the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram.
Christie said “every region of the world has been infected with her flawed judgment,” citing Clinton’s resistance to adding Boko Haram to the terrorist watch list.
“What happened because of this reckless action by the candidate who is the self-proclaimed champion of women around the world? These terrorists abducted hundreds of innocent young girls two years ago,” Christie said. “These schoolgirls are still missing today.
“What was the solution from the Obama/Clinton team? A hashtag campaign!”
Right now they’re dreaming about having to wear burkas, hiding their glasses and staying in doors. Nightmares
Yep. Dream about marrying a serial rapist and use him to get ahead. Kind of like the proverbial casting couch. And have a kid to appear normal. What a dream, huh?
Yes young women, you can grow up to be just like Hillary Clinton, a murdering, treasonous, two faced pile of crap who can look a mother in the face next to her dead child and blame a VIDEO for their death..yes young women of today you can achieve that goal
Look at what they offered up as the first Black president.
Now look at who they are offering up as the first female president.
Cream of the crop hugh...
If this hasn’t been an insult to Blacks and women, I don’t know what would be.
If the Republicans had been able to force the DNC to do this, it would have objected strenuously.
Amazing...
Well, it damn sure gives me something to dream about. Nightmare!
Finger down my throat every time one of these humanoids talk.
Selling their soul for politics??
