I don't know if much will change . There was a lot of enthusiasm for Obama partially due to his being African American . It's really hard to say if he would of won if he was not AA. I think it's dumb when people say it was only because he was AA though . He ran a much better campaign versus Hillary in 2008.
In terms of race relations though things seem a lot worse now than prior to his presidency. A lot of it is the media feeding into it though.
I don't really think Hillary would make things much "better" for women .
I think her bigger obligation will be to the special interests and donors .
The run between Obama and Hillary in the 08 primary was on the campaign, and not on being the first AA or first woman. However in the general it did become being the first AA, as it would have been being the first woman if Hillary had won the nomination. Says too much about the electorate. Does not bode well for the US long term.
With Obama making it so America will not elect another black president for decades to come. Do you really want it to be Hillary to set the gold standard? This will set women back and it will be decades before another woman is elected again, if ever again.
This ^^
So many people do not want Hillary to win, the independents and even some Democrats switched to the Republican party this time around for the primaries. This is predominantly why the establishment Republican candidates lost out. That, and the Republicans that were becoming disillusioned with the Republicrats that have been running things in their party and causing it to lose.
I am a man and I'd like to see that. Any progressive nation should have seen something alike happening long ago.
This election is positive in that aspect. Voting down Trump is also positive.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to elect a female as president, but maybe you could wait until you have one who isn't a corrupt, lying, self-serving, criminal, evil beast like Hillary.
Voting for someone solely because they are female is the STUPIDEST reason to vote for President of the United States.
what's next? lets have the first gay President to make history....the first Latino, the first Asian.
Why not? And you can be sure they will all be Democrats, the party that brought you your first black president and will soon bring you your first woman president. While your party is still trying to push women and minorities back into the 1950s.

republicans don't vote because of what a person has between their legs or color of their skin or sexual orientation.....we vote on policies.

maybe you democrats should try it sometime.
LOL. Okay, if it makes you feel more comfortable with your blinders on, that's fine. Meanwhile, back in the real world, those of us who don't walk around blindfolded all day see how conservatives have treated minorities, women, Muslims and everyone else who isn't a white male Christian. There are none so blind...

Funny that it is the only thing Democrats can brag about. Republicans have a much better history with the country. Republicans freed the slaves AND were anti-segregation. Don't forget it was the Democrats who were pro-slavery.
And your blanket statement has no facts to back that statement up.
