Jamil Smith made this observation last night:
"Don't lose the history of this moment. A woman will be the presidential nominee of a major party. First of many, I hope."
https://twitter.com/JamilSmith/status/739981767399112704
"There have been major party nominees for over 225 years, and this is the first time one is a woman. Amazing."

Or as Glenn Thrush puts it:
"Forget @HillaryClinton - a future president woke up this morning & headed to school in a country where she won't quite have to be the first."

Remember how eight years ago, Hillary talked about 18 million cracks on the highest, hardest glass ceiling of them all.
This time she has gotten more.
Hillary's 'glass ceiling' moment
In triumph, she is likely to cite her own famous concession speech and send a message to Bernie
"Hillary Clinton’s “glass ceiling” speech, the most memorable moment of oratory in her political career, once decisively marked the end of her presidential hopes; now, her supporters see it as an inspiring prelude."
"Eight years to the day after she declared that, thanks to the number of Democrats who voted for her, the highest, hardest glass ceiling of sexism had "about 18 million cracks in it," Clinton is set to make history as the first woman to become her a major party nominee."
"She will finally claim victory Tuesday night in her protracted and unexpectedly bitter fight against Bernie Sanders. And aides say she is likely to reference her own parting comments in the 2008 race, etched in pain but delivered with hope — aimed at restoring the party unity she now needs from the defiant Vermont Senator."
"While Clinton’s speech is famous for her “18 million cracks” line, the most important thing she shattered that day may have been the barrier of distrust between herself and Obama. Clinton’s fulsome embrace of her rival that day is now expected to pay dividends as the popular sitting president returns the favor for his former secretary of state. And if Sanders, who is still talking of a contested convention, refuses to drop out, he could look stingy by comparison."

Bernie got awful peevish yesterday on the question of his sexism.

Yep, Crabby Bernie.

But, honestly, when does he stop ignoring the very clear will of the voters? We Dem voters could not have made our choice clearer.
The only question we have for Bernie now is when do you drop out. There is nothing else we need to know. The tax returns? Jane can keep them locked in the attic.
When do you respect the will of Democratic voters who have made Hillary Clinton the female nominee of a major US party?
