CNNs Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger argued on Tuesday that the war on women is actually tenable politics. At least, it is when Democrats are that wars prosecutors.
In a discussion regarding the uncovering of Oregon Republican U.S. Senate candidate Monica Wehbys police records pertaining to past domestic disputes records which were reportedly dug up by the states Democratic Party Borger said that the Beaver States Democrats were merely playing smart politics. The surest way to make a female candidate toxic to persuadable voters, she said, is to portray that candidate as a basket case.
What do you do when you dont want a woman winning a Senate seat? Borger said, channeling the frustration of a hypothetical imperiled incumbent. You portray her as some kind of an emotional wreck, okay, who cant possibly be trusted with the high office.

In other words, calling a liberal woman an emotional wreck is sexist, but calling a Conservative woman an emotional wreck is OK.

Probably a good way to defeat any opponent in an election would be to bring up their arrest records.

Nothing is believable unless it has a basis in reality.

It's not just women.
Ed Muskie was done in by crying outside the Manchester Union-Leader in 1972.
