Clinton told the cheering crowd: &#8220;<strong>This is really your victory.

In a surprising poll result declared by Reuters, she is leading by 6 points to Trump, and is a considerable achievement in itself, considering the fact that she was a candidate with negative approval ratings and was lambasted at the RNC as a criminal and liar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What does <strong>Mrs. Clinton\u2019s presidential nomination<\/strong> mean to average voters? For the first time, <strong>Top US military leaders<\/strong> would report to a female boss. We never even had a woman on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The president would know better about pregnancy and abortions. Parental leave and Pay equity might be impacted Or maybe nothing happens. The symbolism would be supernova-level.
