CNN Commentator on Hillary’s High Unfavorables: ‘A Lot of This is Sexism’
Mediaite ^ | 4/18/2016 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 04/18/2016 11:01:30 AM PDT by simpson96

CNN political commentator and NY1 host Errol Louis said during a Monday morning discussion that the reason Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has such high unfavorability numbers in most polls was because of unconscious sexism on the part of respondents.

New Day host Chris Cuomo asked Louis about a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll that found that even among Democrats, Clinton had a 56% unfavorable rating. “Let me suggest, because some of her strategists have said this kind of quietly, it’s not really a big thing on this campaign trail: a lot of this is sexism,” he responded

“It’s buried so deep that people just say, ‘I don’t trust her, she doesn’t keep her word,’” he said. “And then you turn it around and say, ‘What politician does?’”

Louis also suggested there was an element of sexism to the protest held by Bernie Sanders supporters where they threw dollar bills at her motorcade: “Everybody raises money from all kinds of sources, she’s the one they throw dollars bills at.”

Isn´t it just grand when the liberals swoop in to tell us things we never knew about ourselves.

So was it sexism when THEY were all bad-mouthing Sara Palin?

Yep, if she was a male corrupt, lying, influence peddling, Muslim Brotherhood loyalist intent on taking my second amendment rights by force, I would like her just fine.

When you’re losing, throw out a buch of “isms”, raceISM, sexISM, etc.

Suppose for a nanosecond that it’s true, how does that garner more support? Depending on PC guilt? People are sick of that crap.

With Hilary’s record, or lack thereof, sexism is a convenient term to explain her lack of support. The people who rely on isms are not living in the real world. The facts mean nothing to them.

That would be Obama and he and Hillary should be sharing a cell.

So if we do not like Bernie, are we going to be guilty of ageism?

Actually it’s probably sexism why the career criminal isn’t in jail right now same reason they are afraid of being tagged as racist for even speaking about the 20 billion acts of treason by Barry like this latest one where news came out of the Saudis involvement in 911 and there was Barry giving them some terrorists from Gitmo. Ah yes, reinforcing the enemy once again, nothing to see here it’s only treason.

The leftist media can see their chosen Hillary is dying in the polls, so the desperation excuses come out now, in a pathetic effort to revive her numbers - You’re all anti-woman bigots!!

Sorry Errol, when even most women don’t like or trust Hillary, there’s more than sexism happening here.

Nonsense. Where are the numbers showing her polling among women?
She is not doing well among women and that is a huge problem.
The only people who like Hillary are raging feminists and mind numbed libs.

Odd how Obama was supposed to bring us together and solve racism, yet he has caused more division and promoted racism and hatred of whites by blacks.

I suspect that Hilary will cause an explosion of sexism.
Most likely overwhelming misandry.

The people in the Benghazi embassy email, texted and phoned Hillary 600 times, didn’t get a response, but she had time for Sid Vicious.

The planes, and the cavalry never came. That is why Hillary has high negatives. Hillary told us about a youtube video, but in private she told Chelsea it was a terrorist attack. That is why Hillary’s negatives are so high.

Hillary lied Stevens and 3 others died.

Now you are just being silly.....

I can't believe they are just now coming out with this, I made the appropriate adjustment to my tag line just over a year ago.....

Of course it’s sexism. It has to be. It’s beyond the ability of any Hillary supporter to conceive of the possibility that there are real, normal people who don’t love her. Hillary critics are simply dysfunctional. It’s the only possible explanation.

Here’s an idea. Go @#$@#$ your @#$@$.

If that doesn’t help the sexism, get back to me. I have more ideas.

Regarding sexism. Just ask Bill. Hillary was his enabler.

I hope she plays the sexism card, all the women Bill made sexual attacks against are going to come out and Hillary will be over. Trump will put them on TV.
