People Are Seriously Asking if Hillary Can Be President and a Grandma
Yesterday, Chelsea Clinton announced that she’s pregnant. And then, like clockwork, “HOW WILL HILLARY’S DAUGHTER’S PREGNANCY AFFECT HER PRESIDENTIAL RUN?” bellowed some idiots.
In an article covering the pregnancy announcement, USA Today wrote, “It’s unclear how Chelsea’s pregnancy will affect Hillary Clinton, who is considering a race for president in 2016.” “President or grandmother?” Charlie Rose asked Bill Clinton on CBS This Morning. Not to be outdone, the Christian Science Monitor published an entire piece on it: “Chelsea Clinton baby: Will Hillary Clinton be less likely to run in 2016?” the headline ponders.
This is patently ridiculous. If the genders were reversed — say, if Bill Clinton were running for President again (why not, America’s an oligarchy anyway) — no one would feel the need to speculate on whether he’d set aside his political ambitions and focus on being the best grandfather he can be; for a real-life comparison, Mitt Romney welcomed two grandchildren on the campaign trail and no one asked how that would impact his run.
