Mrs Clinton first women to get nominated as Presidential candidate is a moment of pride for US. It's ironic that that a country like US has not been able to get rid of gender bias. 
It's matter great pride for Mrs Clinton as clinched presidential nomination despite very tough competition from Bernie Sanders. 
As per media reports Mrs Clinton appears to have edge over Trump. She got more number of votes in Primaries and she appears to be in better position to win women and minority votes than her counter part. And more over she got good support from Mr Sanders and Mr Obama also. However it is reported that clear picture would emerge only after their convention gets concluded.
The long drawn American Presidential Election is reaching last lap with Donald Trump  being the official nominee of Republicans. It is to be seen how well he or she deals with the challenges -- terrorism, sluggish global economy, increasingly powerful China, and disturbed MiddleEast, etc, 
 As I understand the likelihood of Trump's Presidency seems dangerous to us as he has been fielded as "Law and Order" candidate, and his foreign policy statements are really disturbing as he seems to be advocating Isolationism in the name of Americanism. Mr Trump is also using Economic worries, and Terror attacks at home and abroad trying to build border walls and keeping certain communities out but whereas Mrs Clinton's presidency on the other hand is predictable. As for India bilateral relations which have deepened under Obama-Modi friendship may be strengthened better under Clinton Presidency. Her Vice-President pick Mr Tim a strong supporter of India-US ties could play a key role.I would be happy if our NRI friends from US throw some light on the  present day existing situation.
But whatever may be the outcome, we should leave it to the wisdom of American people.
