Got something to say?

What’s a “Fist Date”?
Graduated from Princeton and Harvard and she says “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” What hope? She has accomplished so many things. Hope of being in the White House? That I can understand. Just such a vague comment, I wish I knew what she meant.
