Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday swiped at critics and pundits who have been scrutinizing the “likability” of certain female politicians.
Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, made her comments during an appearance in Manhattan alongside New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and just days after Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced she was exploring the possibility of challenging President Trump in the 2020 election.
“There’s been a lot of talk recently whether our country is ready for women leaders and that really takes me back,” Clinton said during her speech at Barnard College. “Today, I want to thank all of you for your persistence.”
Clinton added: “I know many of you and can attest how smart, determined, effective, and, dare I say, likable you all are.”
Clinton’s comments come amid a slew of news stories and opinion pieces questioning how Warren can avoid falling into the same trap that befell Clinton during her presidential bids – pointing to the “likability” factor.
Politico ran one story quoting numerous Warren associates and advisers who – while dismissing the claims – said they were concerned the Massachusetts lawmaker would get lumped in with Clinton as someone who is cold and unlikable.
“Elizabeth is not that,” a onetime Warren adviser told Politico. “I don’t think it’s fair. I know her. I think she is a warm and affectionate person.”

Margaret Thatcher never seemed to get worked up about all that stuff.
I know she can "go git me a beer", but can she make me a sammich?
Caliguletta would have been making with “first the punishment, then the sentence” with her Secret Service Staff.
It wasn’t hers or the Donald’s personal likability, it was THE POLICIES, STUPID.
Whatever, Hillary - think I’ll go ‘ get me a beer ‘.
Idiots.
Hillary, it wasn’t because you are a woman.
Warren might just take the top spot over Hillary on that chart.
Facts are facts and it sure does help getting one elected being likable. But at least she is FINALLY admitting that she herself had something to do with her failed candidacy!
When you are right you don’t need to bother with that
It is the way of the Left. The Left said for eight years that anyone who opposed Barack Obama was a racist.
No, it was because he was a stinking, lying, arrogant, lawbreaking, Marxist, socialist jerkoff. Had nothing to do with the melanin content of his skin.
Once again here is Hillary Clinton pontificating on things she knows nothing about...
They’ve had no trouble over the years telling us about the unlikeability of Guiliani, Dole, Cheney, Newt, even Mitt. No chicks in that group.
I’ve noticed a correlation between the folks who “like” Hillary Clinton and the folks who want some of the government’s $4.4.trillion annual slush fund.

Geesh what a whiny baby. THE ONLY thing we hear about Trump from his detractors is how much they don’t like him.
Blaming the voters for not liking you gets you nowhere.
If you are gonna be president you gotta be liked by at least 51% of the American public.
you think they got that spelled right?
Half of these new women are nuts and the other half are only half nuts.
One thing she gets high marks for.
