Hillary Clinton: People say, 'I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman'
Yahoo News ^ | May 31, 2016 | Dylan Stableford

The former secretary of state and Democratic frontrunner says she still encounters sexism on the campaign trail — even on the rope line.

Hillary Clinton says while sexism on the campaign trail is not as severe as it was in 2008 when she first ran for president, it still lingers - even in her encounters with would-be supporters.

She also said that men fear ambitious women like her. "I think it's the competition," Clinton said. "Like, if you do this, there won't be room for some of us, and that’s not fair."

Was she dodging sniper fire when they said it?

"hillary, I'm here at your rally, just to shake your hand and let you know I can't vote for you because you're a woman"

Happens ALL THE TIME, for sure! <^..^>

It is a bald faced lie. I would swear no one has ever said that to her. Got to play the underdog card somehow.

If Trump can top her with a vigorous campaign, this may hurt women candidates in the future because their male opponents may take off the gloves instead of “be nice” to the girl.

And a guy came up to her and said the same thing while she was running from sniper fire.

I am a fat old white man, and I can vote for a woman in a heartbeat.

I would NEVER vote for Hillary, and yes, a small part of the reason is that I don't like her, but the overwhelming percentage of the reason is that I know what she wants to turn America into and I would rather revolt than have her succeed in her intention.

So Hillary has it donkey-reversed: I don't really like her, but I know I can vote for a woman.

Who does that make the sexist in this picture?

Liberals are telling her they love her but can’t vote for a woman. Conservatives sure aren’t telling her that.

I really don't like her, and I just don't know if I can vote for a lying, treasonous, influence-peddling felon ...

... sure enough, I can't.

She also said that men fear ambitious women like her. "I think it's the competition," Clinton said.

There are lots of ambitious women who are NOT crooks, murderers, traitors, incompetent, stupid, anti-American, pro-muslim, pro-Mexican, pro-homo, etc., like Hillary Clinton.

Many of them could be decent presidents. Hillary will never be a decent anything. May she rot on a rope.

Arabs and other muslims will not shake her hand, let alone consider her seriously. Such dictators just won’t. Because she is a woman.

Total baloney.

Americans would love to vote for a woman for President, they just don’t want to vote for Hillary
