#19thRepresents:@HillaryClinton says the president is scared of increasing the electorate in any way. He's got all sorts of shenanigans of trying to mess up the voting. When it comes to the Post Office, he appointed "a crony donor."https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1BRJjYRrkpeGw …Show this thread -
#19thRepresents: Cont'd.@HillaryClinton says the "crony donor" has taken over in a way that has sent chills down the spine of many who know how it's all supposed to work. So much mail has been slowed down.https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1BRJjYRrkpeGw …Show this thread -

#19thRepresents:@HillaryClinton on why women have had difficulties getting to the highest positions of office in the U.S. — She says, we have a presidential system here. Many of the women who have succeeded in politics in other countries have been in a parliamentary system.Show this thread -
#19thRepresents: Cont'd. In that system, you're a head of government, not a head of state. Your party selects you as a potential leader, says@HillaryClinton.https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1BRJjYRrkpeGw …Show this thread -
#19thRepresents: Cont'd. You get to show your leadership to a relatively small group of people who see you in action, says@HillaryClinton.https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1BRJjYRrkpeGw …Show this thread -
#19thRepresents: Our system is very different. Our party has nothing to do with who can run for president, says@HillaryClinton. Any one can run. And, you have to raise "an enormous amount of money." It's a more difficult route here.Show this thread -
