Perusing through the recaps on the #DemDebate last night, I came across an opinion piece on “sisterhood” and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

No doubt, Clinton is playing the woman card more so on her campaign trail this year than she was in 2008.

The Hillary Clinton of 2008 talked a lot about her qualifications and background as a lawyer, a United States senator, a first lady, a children’s rights advocate — and very little about the fact that she’s a woman. Even if she’d had a grandchild at the time, she probably wouldn’t have been photographed pushing a baby carriage.

…A children’s rights advocate? Are you serious? I guess those cast under the witch’s spell do not seem to notice that she’s Twitter buddies with this woman:

Sista-hood.

The article goes on:

The Hillary Clinton of 2016, in stark contrast, is a proud grandmother, confidently exercising her right to let the world wait for her, and above all, unafraid to acknowledge that in running she is making it possible for “fathers … to say to their daughters, ‘You, too, can grow up to be president.’”

What prompted this paradigm shift in the 2016 Clinton campaign, you ask? Well, according to this Yahoo News article-a divine sisterhood:

Lena Dunham happened. And Amy Schumer. Also Sheryl Sandberg, Gabby Giffords, the first female Army Rangers and all of women’s soccer. All assessed in polls, discussed in strategy sessions with her aides and all pointing to the same conclusion: that if the United States is ready to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus as president, it’s ready to elect Hillary Clinton. And, of course, something else happened: Donald Trump.
