Hillary Clinton and Disney Princesses are here to deliver your daily dose of optimism and inspiration. All these ladies are so fucking chipper! If I put Cinderella and Hilary Clinton in a room together, I would expect a clash, not a love fest. I am seriously unsettled by the stunning similarities between what these characters are putting out there for us to learn from. What effect does this kind of language have? Am I just being cynical? Also, who’s Merida?

HC: It is past time for women to take their rightful place, side by side with men, in the rooms where the fates of peoples, where their children’s and grandchildren’s fates, are decided.

Merida: There comes a day when I don’t have to be a Princess. No rules, no expectations. A day where anything can happen. A day where I can change my fate.

HC: You know, everybody has setbacks in their life, and everybody falls short of whatever goals they might set for themselves. That’s part of living and coming to terms with who you are as a person.

Cinderella: No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true

HC: We are a country built by immigrants and our diversity makes us stronger as a nation — it’s something to be proud of, celebrate, and defend.

Pocahontas: If you walk the footsteps of a stranger. You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.

HC: The worst thing that can happen in a democracy – as well as in an individual’s life – is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.

Snow White: Remember you’re the one who can fill the world with sunshine.

HC: Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.

Tiana: The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.

HC: We came out of the White House not only dead-broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. It was not easy.

Belle: It’s not until you lose everything that you can truly appreciate everything.

HC: Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.

Rapunzel: Don’t trust anyone who says you can’t do it. Show them you can.

HC: Every moment wasted looking back, keeps us from moving forward…In this world and the world of tomorrow, we must go forward together or not at all.

Jasmine: I’m like a shooting star. I’ve come so far. I can’t go back. To where I used to be.

HC: My husband may have his faults, but he has never lied to me.

Elsa: Yes, I’m alone but I’m alone and free!

Ummm, maybe Elsa is smarter than Hillary?
