Hillary Clinton had a second secret e-mail address (NY Post)

She will definitely win. A lot of people are narcissistic. Basically, you will have these group of people:

  • Those that want to make history. It's not enough to be around as history unfolds, people want to actually MAKE it and be APART of it. There will be a big pull for people to make history by voting in the first female president in the U.S.

  • Female voters, that will vote only because she's female. Yep. Say what you will about the past, but this is def the biggest "gap" between two candidates there has ever been, when it comes to presidents. The POTUS has always been male. And while people try to act like that doesn't matter, women make up half the population, and you have a candidate that is their actual gender. It's a major difference. People tend to vote for people that are like them (whether that is political view points, background, skin color). So now you have an actual major difference. Woman vs Man. While I'm not saying all women will vote for her purely because she's a woman (I'm a woman and I would never vote for her), I do think overall voters, will vote based on gender lines this election. Is what it is. This is not a knock against women, as I think people in general do this. We tend to gravitate towards what is most like us.

  • The groundwork has been laid for the last 5 years. Ever notice how Feminists and SJW's have been getting louder and louder? How you can't go a single week without some major controversy? Let me get this out of the way and say, I don't think Feminism is bad. I don't even think SJW is bad either. There are absolutely equality/gender issues that need to be addressed. However, there has been a big push in the last 5 years, where the extremists of these groups have made it all about how Women have is so bad in the modern era. Remember how at the latest Oscars, Patricia Arquette gave that speech about how we've fought for every other minority, but now it's time we fight for women? Yeah.... Pretty much, the "environment" and atmosphere has been created. The next President has to be a women, or there will be hell to pay.

  • As much as the Clinton name makes people angry, a lot of people actually love the Clinton brand still. As much as they are hated, they easily just as much loved.

**For the record, I would probably vote for Elizabeth Warren. I don't agree with everything she believes in. Gender doesn't actually matter. Well it does matter in that, there are still stereotypes and sexism/hurdles. Women still don't make up enough positions in the government. And, while there are def people that would vote for a woman, purely because the candidate is female, there are also people out there that would NOT vote for them, because they are female. What I mean is, to me personally, gender is not something I care about. Either gender is capable of any job. It's always important to focus on the person with the best record/positions. But sadly, this election will not be about that. And it scares me, because I think we are in a crossroads of this country. I think we are heading down the wrong path. I'm not sure ANY candidate at this point could do much about that. But it scares me that our next President is already guaranteed to win, because she's a women.
