An Unlikable Woman
U.S. News & World Report ^ | April 13, 2017 | By Ashley Pratte - Opinion Contributor

Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 because she was unpopular, not because she's a woman.

Last week, at the 8th annual Women in the World Summit, Hillary Clinton linked her election loss to her success and ambition. She claimed, "the more successful and therefore ambitious a woman is, the less likable she becomes."

Clinton certainly had a likability problem during her presidential campaign, but it was due to her untrustworthiness, which she never overcame in the polls with the American public. With her email scandal looming large over her campaign, she saw her support drop. The email scandal and the ensuing investigation that plagued Clinton, along with the spotlight on the ethics of the Clinton Foundation, painted her as distrustful. Her likability had nothing to do with her ambition and success as a woman but with how she conducted herself when she held positions of power.

While there are many conversations to be had about gender stereotyping in the media, and there are still many glass ceilings to be shattered, Clinton's success and ambition weren't the reasons for her election loss – and she does a disservice to women everywhere by saying they were.

Dear Hillary.

Didn’t you pay your female workers less than your male workers?

Sincerely,

The late 1960’s

P.S. Your campaign theme is 50 years out of date

Thank God the -itch is not in our White House.

She would have pushed the Destruction of America Throttle full ahead while she became the wealthiest woman on earth.

Nothing wrong with a little ambition, but when you morph into a power-mad control freak...

Hillary says — if you hate her, you hate all women

If all women were Hillary, we would all be misogynists.

I fail to understand how she keeps a straight face. I would have to laugh at myself for trying to sell the things that fall out of her mouth. If getting away with stupidity is a sign of intelligence and not a sign of the stupidity of the listener, then maybe she is the smartest woman in the world. Or at least in the group of those with a room temp I.Q. She’s a bad joke.

I think every day how very lucky this country was to avoid the Clinton presidential Apocalypse. We are far from out of the woods. The left has some real gems in the wings. That Harris b*tch from Cali may be further left to Clinton.
