Wednesday night on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah," (tr) Hillary Clinton dismissed calls for her to retire from politics as "rank sexism." She also listed two other reasons why she won't be "going away" anytime soon.
Noah asked Clinton, "Looking at the Democratic Party now, looking at Hillary Clinton, one thing far too many people say — and I have my own opinions on this — is why won't you just go away?" Fading from the limelight after a presidential loss, and allowing your party to find a new standard-bearer, is common practice. But Clinton seems uninterested.
"You know, some of it is just rank sexism," Clinton declared. "Let's just be honest about it. I never heard anybody say that to Al Gore or John Kerry or John McCain or Mitt Romney, all the men who lost elections in the last 17-18 years."

"Some of it, I will say, is media guilt," she added, ...... She attacked the media for refusing to "pay any attention to policies." She recalled some members of the press saying to her, "They thought I was going to win so they could beat up on me without consequence." But it gets better. One last charge: "They didn't really stand up against a lot of the ridiculous lies and accusings against me." Really? REALLY?
Finally, Clinton got to the real heart of the issue. "I think there are people who are genuinely worried that, you know, we've got to make room for new voices," the former nominee admitted. "That's why I'm supporting candidates and causes I believe in."
Here comes the excuse! Three, two, one... "And yet, a lot of these people are primarily young people, just getting started, they've got tremendous energy, they're not going to get on your show — I am."

She might have a point. What other major crime figure in American history has had such a long string of criminal accomplishments without having a glove laid on them?
Dear Hillary,
It is not rank sexism that is calling for your retirement, it is your rank cronism that is preventing you from retiring when you are way past your sell by date.
roaring soaring hubris!!! ping
Even a glancing mention oh her vagina brings nausea to me
Calls for her to retire? and what about the CALLS for her to go to PRISON?
Bill Clinton?
Everything is an ism or a phobia to these people. Imagine a conversation with them if they couldn’t use either anymore.
Yes she’s just another non convicted felon.
Shillary is the jilted ex-girlfriend who just won’t go away. Like the jilted ex, she cannot accept she’s been replaced by someone much, much better.
Run Hillary run!
She should keep pounding the talk show circuit on this theme. It’s a winner!
Funny you should use the name Hillary Clinton and the word Rank in the title at the same time.
That video brings joy every time!
Keep on posting it!
And she is projecting...
“...need people who are NOT IN IT (politics) FOR PERSONAL GAIN...”
Seriously?!?!
“Let’s just be honest about it.” Mrs. Clinton, what would you know about being honest?
She doesn’t cast a reflection in mirrors. Why do you think Bubba looks so thin?
All those other unsuccessful candidates retired from electoral politics. That’s what people are demanding you self-centered twit. (I mean Hillary, of course).
