Hillary Clinton supporters see a double standard when it comes to Monday's presidential debate, which for the first time will feature a woman debating a man.

[Snip]

"Is there a double standard? One hundred percent times 100 percent," said Tracy Sefl, a Democratic consultant and Clinton surrogate. "And God forbid if she coughs."

[Snip]

They say their candidate will be criticized for smiling too much or too little, for cracking too many jokes or not enough. She's criticized when she talks too much about policy, and she's criticized if she relies on too many zingers.

The tone of Clinton's voice is repeatedly analyzed, as is her wardrobe. Clinton allies note that graphics have been made about the former New York senator's pantsuits, while stories have been written about her wearing a scrunchie.

You Freepers will be using a sexist double standard if you laugh if Old Granny Pickles is unable to power on ... when she accidentally cackles, coughs, freezes, strikes a saving pose, loses control of her head motions, suffers from uncoordinated eye movements, gets slapped in the butt with a pen by the big black dude, is dragged off the stage, or topples over completely ... so watch out!

We’re all sexist here!!!

That’s why my 83 year old mother is my hero and if she says shut up when I get loud, I shut up.

Sisters are brilliant accountant, nurse practitioner and college math teacher. NEVER said a foul word to them.

Wife makes more than me and that’s GREAT.

but we’re sexists. i keep forgetting.

What double standard?

Has Trump been collapsing, coughing, not able to climb stairs?

Wow...who didn’t see this coming? Like clockwork. Maybe Typhoid Mary Clinton can discuss it with Gennifer Flowers before the double standard debate kicks off.

Clinton and the Left:

- Sexism = there’s a man involved.

- Men are sexist.

- We hate men. They are sexist.

- We are women and are never wrong regardless of reason and don’t try to make us accountable.

All bad examples.

The only double standard: if she was a man ...she would already be in prison.

Odd, there wasn’t this concern from the Marxtards when Sarah Palin debated Joe Biden.

Now now, Bill Ayers admits he’s guilty as sin yet free as a bird (and even on 9-11-2001 wouldn’t say that he wouldn’t engage in terrorism again some day...).

Same could be said about President-elect Trump:

They say their candidate will be criticized for smiling too much or too little, for cracking too many jokes or not enough. He’s criticized when he talks too much about policy, and he’s criticized if he relies on too many zingers.

The tone of Trump’s demeanor is repeatedly analyzed, as is his hair. Trump allies note that graphics have been made about the New York real estate mogul’s hotels and resorts, while stories have been written about him wearing a “Make America Great Again” ballcap.

“Hillary Clinton supporters see a double standard “

Appropriate since Hillary sees double.

“They say their candidate will be criticized for ...”

The criticism isn’t that she does them, it’s that she does them so anti socially / disingenuously. It’s that her natural persona is one that others don’t want to be around.
It’s not sexism, it’s irritating.

His terrorism keeps on giving from writing "Dreams From My Father" and launching Obama.

Seriously ????? Do they talk more about Hillary’s hair, or Donald’s???

Did, or did not, Harry Reid comment about The Donald’s weight?

I’ll make a sexist statement about HIS clothing. I absolutely LOVE his shirts. Would love to know where he gets them, strongly suspect they’re custom made by a top notch tailor using top notch fabrics. But if you look at them, they really are mahvelous.
