New Hampshire Women Stand Up to Sexism in Vote for Hillary

LOS ANGELES — The stories were all written. The rats were jumping ship. The backstabbing and second guessing and told you so’s by the people who weren’t asked and included in the first instance was in full force.

On television, everywhere you looked, another pundit was explaining how it was that the Clinton dynasty was over, the candidacy doomed, and the candidate flawed beyond salvation. Who would be fired and when she would exit and just how broke she was were the only questions left to be answered.

Until people voted.

What happened?

Sexism? What is that? Is that where you determine how you feel about someone based on their gender? Yeah, thought so.

The only sexism I see is coming from the Hillary supporters who say that Hillary should be supported because America will be in trouble if someone from that gender -- you know the one I mean -- gets into power.

Women feel they have it made but they have to work twice as hard to gain validation because of their sex. Hillary tapped into that emotion and even conservative women feel that way at times. Playing the "gender card" so far hasn't hurt her prospects.

She (allegedly) broke down in tears over the possibility of her failure and we registered our disgust. Somehow that is sexist.

I can't see Maggie Thatcher losing control like that. Ever.

[Nextrush]

She’ll leave a path of tears to the White House.

Spot On with you comment.

she never lost control. it was all calculated. the day before someone had questioned whether or not she had a heart... so the following day, she installed a ticking watch and got ‘choked up’ on cue.

and why aren’t people asking more questions about the ‘iron my shirts’ guys. they were a total plant. you could tell listening to hillary in her response... when was the last time she asked to have the lights brought up to see a heckler better?

and i read a report that one of the ‘iron my shirts’ guys had a ‘hillary 2008’ bumper sticker on his bag

asking for media follow up to expose hillary will never happen. as always, its up to bloggers to track down the info and parse fact from fiction

anyone have a name on those guys?

Nothing like supporting a woman who stood by her rapist husband in an effort to advance her own career. As a woman, these women disgust me.

[Washi]

If they are voting for her solely, or even primarily, because she is a woman, that is the very definition of sexism, Susan.

Oh, and iron my shirt.

Sorry for the double post. I did a search under “Susan Estrich” and didn’t find anything like the current article.

What a laugh!! And to think the state slogan of NH is “Live free or die”. The founding fathers of the stae must be turning over in their graves.

What Happened?

They staged the phony “Iron My Shirts” gig to get women upset.

How phony was it? How prearranged?

When the signs were held aloft, Hillary asked for the lights to be turned up so everyone could see them!

[Steely Tom]

No prob. Search isn’t that reliable. A good article anyway.

No matter how high my source was telling me that a particular scenario – mass staff exits, the return of Carville and Begala - was not going to happen, there were others claiming they knew better, had been on some phantom conference call where it was all discussed, were privy to information that proved otherwise.

Major Garrett was insisting that his sources were correct on the shake up. Obviously, either he was used or his source was used.
