Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says the “macho atmosphere” of the 2016 campaign is what doomed Hillary Clinton. A more reasonable argument is that Mrs. Clinton wasn’t macho enough to make it to the White House.
At a Columbia University Women’s Conference event on Sunday, Justice Ginsburg was asked again about the 2016 election, to which she opined, according to Fox News Insider, ”‘I think it was difficult for Hillary Clinton to get by even the macho atmosphere prevailing during that campaign, and she was criticized in a way I think no man would have been criticized,’ Justice Ginsburg said. ‘I think anyone who watched that campaign unfold would answer it the same way I did: Yes, sexism played a prominent part,’ she continued.”
Mrs. Clinton wasn’t the only loser of the 2016 season. Does Justice Ginsburg think former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are all casualties of machismo? Perhaps their own lack of it. When voters looked at the world, we wisely decided against sending anyone who needed a safe space, face-planted into a van, or was low-energy, into the vipers’ pit of the world.
Political campaigns are about getting to know the candidates, but more than that, we find out in those environments who can handle the heat, and who can’t. If Justice Ginsburg’s wronged Hillary Clinton (or anyone else, for that matter) couldn’t handle an unconventional, swaggering and confident American billionaire, how could she handle the world itself?
Americans decided she couldn’t. And not because of machismo, but because she doesn’t have the fortitude to face all that the world throws at the American president. The fact that we can’t ask the late U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens about Mrs. Clinton’s ability to handle

1) Hillary Clinton is an evil, duplicitous hag who ran a horrible campaign and holds 2/3rds of the entire population of America in disdain, utter hatred and contempt.
2) Almighty God, in His mercy answered the prayers of millions of Christians to deliver America from this evil Jezebel and to preserve and restore us as a Judeo-Christian nation by electing Donald Trump POTUS. Almighty God placed Donald Trump into office.
THE REASON Hillary Clinton lost was because Almighty God prevented her from being elected.
She’s gone through every excuse in the world except it was she who lost.
Next excuse will be cute kitty youtubes.
Beat me to it - I still like it!
That makes me think of a story that Peggy Noonan told in her book “The Case Against Hillary Clinton”. When Hillary was running for the Senate seat in New York, she appeared on some late night talk show and during the show, she was asked a few trivia questions about New York state. She answered them all correctly, but Noonan pointed out, Hillary put on this act of trying to think out her answers and make guesses and it was revealed later, that she was given the answers in advance.
I would also add, that she seemed unwell. She did not have the stamina to run aggressively during her campaign because she does not have the stamina -- period. The job of POTUS is a high pressure, non-stop kind of a job. She couldn't even handle running for the job, let alone, the job of POTUS itself.
Her problem is that she pretends to be macho every waking moment.
Under "cheating": Can we include her winning six coin tosses out of a possible six coin tosses?

I agree that Hillary acting to macho is what lost her the election.
The way she thought, that by virtue of who she was, she was owed the presidency.
Way to “macho”.
Agreed - I found Hillary’s macho attitude off-putting.
I despise Ginsburg and will have no sympathy on that day when everything catches up with her and she is on her way to Hell.
Hillary has “no standing” ever since she waged her own personal war-on-women in her “nutz and sluts” days will President BJ.
Ruth Ginsberg is 85 years old..
Senility, dementia, and many other causes can be present in that aged body. She has has many health issues...She needs to resign her seat in the SC and live out her remaining days quietly with out giving the media more stupid talking points...
These political life time positions and pay checks need to END. Let is begin NOW...
Hellery lost because of incompetence,worthlessness,unpopularity,ill health,criminality,corruption,lying,meanness,
disrespectfulness,overconfidence,arrogance,unlikableness
She also had an earpiece in at least one of the debates.
Good Lord, I’m getting really tired of Clinton Lost excuses.
Please make it stop.
Does this indicate bias against the legally-elected current POTUS?
If so, she needs to recuse herself from any judging any trial involving DJT.
That's not practical, she would have to step out of a large and important part of the court's caseload. Better to just resign!
SCOTUS judges should not be political pundits or SJW's - it weaponizes the judicial branch.
We all know justices lean conservative/progressive, but this takes it up a notch IMO.
SCOTUS should not be a place for political activism!
Have you gone senile?
Escaped your sitter?
What?
A reasonable assumption on her part after spending tens of millions$ through cutouts to manufacture fake news about trump in foreign countries.
The manufactured lies she paid for failed.
She failed.
She lost.
End of story.
