It seems that Americans have 'always seen ambitious women as unhealthy'
#Election 2016 is just around a month and a half away but some Hillary Clinton supporters are already starting to make excuses for her increasingly likely defeat. Toward that goal, Rebecca Onion wrote a recent piece in Slate entitled America Has Always Seen Ambitious Women as Unhealthy. The theory is that Americans are rejecting Clinton because they think her relentless drive for the Oval Office is making her sick. The problem is that the author has had to reach back to the Edwardian age to find examples of ambitious women being demonized as being less than healthy. She offers no explanation as to why very healthy and determined women on the right Carly Fiorina and Sarah Palin come to mind were smeared by people on the left....
The article that tries to find a sociological explanation as to why Clinton is unpopular, even among the left, is likely the result of too many womens studies programs at major universities. The reason she is tanking in the polls is that she is increasingly seen as corrupt, dishonest, and downright evil. Her gender has nothing to do with it, save for irritation at the lame joke she makes about playing the woman card.
One of the problems feminists of a certain sort are having at the prospect of #Hillary Clinton not becoming the first female president is that she may be beaten by a man who encapsulates all of the worst aspects of masculinity, from their point of view. Donald Trump is loud, vulgar, and reeking with machismo. He is not shy of calling women who annoy him some of the vilest names that can be said on television. On the other hand, Trump is still exceeded by Bill Maher, who once infamously called Sarah Palin a c--- on his HBO rant fest show. Trump has also elevated women to management positions in his various business enterprises to a greater extent than has usually been the case.
But the idea of Clinton going down to defeat at the hands of Trump cannot possibly be attributed to any shortcomings on the part of the candidate herself. So, Clintons coming humiliation has to be because the American people are unworthy of her. #Health
When you look and read the histories of Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher, you realize what great women are...
Both lead countries in wars, and had men backing them up on their decisions...stood firm, said what they meant and meant what they said...their people loved them both...
Someday America will have a woman as great as the two above mentioned, but Hillary Rotten Clinton is NOT nor will EVER be one of them...
So make your excuses because you were stupid enough to believe all her lies, and all the thieving she has done over the past 40 years and walk away, because that is all your going to get out of this evil, vile, wicked snake of a shell of a human that sold her soul to the devil many years ago and have taken a lot of good people with her...
After Obama got Reelected in 2012, I’ll believe Hillary lost the day after the Election.
Either my lack of faith in the Electorate will be validated or turned on its head.
I think a lot of people liked, and still stand with Jan Brewer.

Hillary is a dud.
Had she not married Billybob i doubt she would have had what it takes, on her own, to have been elected Senator of NY.
Much less President.
Brings tears to my eyes.
Y’all most welcome!
And now, the most powerful insult from the South will be directed to this Ms. Onion, from yours truly.
Get ready for it, and brace yourselves, as this Southern Expression has the power to shrivel the braggadocio of anyone who has been foolish enough to deserve it.
Here it is, dripping with understated sarcasm, sophisticated irony, and hyperbole:
“Well...Bless Her Heart.”
Actually neither did Bill. Had Perot not taken 20% of the vote Bill would have never won.
Let’s be really, really careful here. Anyone remember how we all believed there was no possible way Obama could win a second term? Romney was looking good in the polls, and then...
I’ve wondered if a misinformation campaign happens, even with Drudge. Remember when we were all 100% sure the Supreme Court was going to vote against Obamacare? Yeah, that suddenly and shockingly didn’t happen. I’m too cynical to believe that Hillary won’t win and we’re being led down the same path, being fed polls that show her popularity slipping, her supporters are worried, blah, blah. It only serves to make her win seem even more miraculous and inspiring. “She came from behind. We all thought her campaign was dead, but her message has struck a chord with millions of Americans, blah, blah.” I think maybe we’re being played once again.
Rebecca Onion? Bad breath and tears.
Rebecca Onion? Bad breath and tears.
And her sister Vidalia.
I liked him as Mr. Pomfritt.
And that other Southern relative, Sweet Pearl.
Others were Minced, Chopped and Bloomin’.
Let’s not forget Aunt Walla Walla.
Heh..
Moronic Facebook trolls claim because Hillary hasn’t been convicted of anything, she is innocent of wrongdoing. BULLCRAP!!!! The FIX was IN from the get-go!!! Did you know Comey’s brother does the Clintons’ taxes?! All part of the same incestuous elitist DC mob!!!!
