...Myers:No, I haven't, in order to maintain some pretense of objectivity for the book, although people will assume I'm for Hillary Clinton and that's in some ways inescapable. I think what I've been struck by in this campaign is that it's still more difficult for women to be taken seriously. Hillary has had to prove she was tough enough to be Commander in Chief.
