The Republicans have sucked all the oxygen out of the room with a race that's finally getting really interesting. Bernie Sanders is vanishing into irrelevance and the Hillary Clinton story of the Republican week was about how she is losing traction with the new generation of women voters. Not exactly the attention she and the party want.
Feminism just ain't what it used to be. If the suffragettes are ancient history, remembered for heroism in an antique age (with the help of a major motion picture), Hillary Clinton's run for the feminist vote suggests vintage clothes, ankle-length skirts and granny glasses, styles she wore when she was a mere governor's wife in Little Rock back in the '90s.
After the horrific slaughter of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11, Americans were outraged. But that fury was directed outward; none of the perpetrators of those terrorist attacks had been an American citizen.
Things are different now. The past few years have seen incident after incident abroad where attacks are committed by people with ties — including citizenship — in the countries where they have murdered fellow citizens in cold blood. In 2013, Lee Rigby was hacked to death in London by two British men of Nigerian descent. The men responsible for the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris this past January were born and raised in France. The ringleaders of the November's Bataclan attacks in Paris were French and Belgian nationals.
