I have a granddaughter, does that count?
I intend to tell her that "what goes around, comes around". If you're an axehole... red, white, blue, green, purple or black... .or if you're a man or woman or an indeterminant sex..... being an axehole has a way of coming back around to bite you in the axe.
I think you have an INCREDIBLY uphill battle to show that Hill lost the nomination solely because she was a "W" ( I'm afraid to use the whole "W" word!).
As has been pointed out, there are a variety of reasons that she isn't the chosen one.
