AP: Hillary dropping gender argument after study shows no one’s interested and no one cares

What if you threw a gender party and no one came? A nice catch from the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross allows us to add this to the Buried Lede Department. The Associated Press reported a couple of days ago on Team Hillary’s delight over Donald Trump’s personal attacks on Hillary and Bill Clinton, but only offered this nugget at the very end of the report. It turns out that claiming her physiology as a unique qualifier turned more voters off than on:

Trump’s eagerness to make gender a major issue has complicated the delicate balancing act she already faces as the first woman to head a major party ticket.

Clinton has stopped explicitly mentioning her role in history and joking about being the “youngest woman president.” That’s by design: Those kinds of direct appeals weren’t working with voters.

“De-emphasize the ‘first’ talk,” advised a research report done by Emily’s List. “They already know she’d be the first woman president,” the report said of donors, “but we don’t get anything by reminding them.”

Psst...Hillary, I have a secret to tell you. The issue isn't the issue. You're the issue.

Hillary would be the first woman president? Who knew?

Its hard to think of Hillary as a woman. She’s so, can we say, not feminine?? Something about her is just off.

The real reason is women were underpaid and abused under Hillary.

Anything that forced voters to think about Hillary’s private parts, even for a nanosecond, HAD to be a negative.

Hillary is the reason women are underpaid because folks see she cannot do the job, no matter what it is.

Wut? Just the opposite. He has said over and over, "This election is about competence." He is secure on his long history of having hired and promoted women to high positions throughout his career, and his plan to leave the major direction of his company in the hands of his daughter.

My son says most people don’t see Hillary as a woman, they see her as a machine with cogs, or just another politician that has been around for 25 years.

Well now, that’s quite the coincidence. Hitlery drops the woman’s card right after we have a nice little clip of Bill, once again united with his cigar, and a voice over of his victims.

Mr. Trump needs to double down on this, just for good measure.

Remember when Patricia Arquette used an award acceptance speech as a tirade for equal pay...

...and her new show (CSI Cyber) got cancelled after two seasons.

I don’t think this gender stuff matters to most people.

I would rather never have another president again than have this cross eyed, grinning, cackling, barking corrupt psychopath lesbian female as president.
