You can't be a grandmother and run for President

OMG I don't know how she can even think about combining being a grandmother with running for President. After all, she may be needed for child-minding duties when Chelsea goes back to work/runs for office. How dare she think of anything else other than the expected grandchild?
And she will be suffering from GrannyBrain. shock

Thanks Mamie. Really enjoyed the article until being brought up short by the horrifying suggestion that Hillary's opponent might be - aargh - Jeb Bush shock shock.

Maybe if her life is changed by having a grandchild as much as those of many of us, she would be a great president, keen to do what she could for world peace and against some of the humanitarian problems we have.

Yes indeed, go Hillary!!

Hillary should immediately be invited to join Gransnet where she would learn how to put the world to rights. wink

Fascinating article. Wish I could vote. They will need someone with a good head on 'her' shoulders now that China as well as Russia are making moves.

Great article! But the underlying prejudice defies belief and is chastening when you stop laughing. Can we look forward to HRC on GN I wonder?

But she might become invisible at G8 Summits for example hmm

Might indeed come in handy while deciding whether to launch drones or missiles. Good point.

Oh, come on Jess. Everyone knows grandmother hormones are a force to be reckoned with! grin

Thanks Mamie - how many grandfather's have been president…..

Indeed!

JessM Wed 23-Apr-14 07:47:13

What ever do you mean? How on earth could she cope with keeping the world safe for free trade if her brain was marinated by grandmother hormones.

Hillary for President!
