Suffragette white.
Hillary Clinton wore it in the biggest moments of her campaign: when she clinched the Democratic primary, when she accepted her party’s nomination, when she made her final debate appearance. The subtle sartorial symbolism was paired with the more explicit campaign message of Clinton as a tireless striver for women and families. Throughout these many months, the Clinton team made it clear that they believed her historic candidacy had the potential to sway portions of the electorate, most especially women voters. They were counting in no small part on the support of sisterhood.
But Clinton’s stunning loss Tuesday night showed that issues of culture and class mattered more to many American women than their gender. The sisterhood, as real sisterhood tends to be, turned out to be riddled with complications.
Preliminary exit poll results show that while she won women by 12 points overall (Trump won men by the same margin, a historic gender gap),1 Clinton lost the votes of white women overall and struggled to win women voters without a college education in states that could have propelled her to victory. I wrote Tuesday night about Clinton’s collapse in the Midwest — she saw Ohio, Wisconsin and probably Michigan slip away, all states President Obama won in 2008 and 2012 — and this appears to be in part because of her performance among voters who don’t have a college degree, including women.

Smart white women arent old drunk lesbians, either!!
College educated white woman here. I may be hindered by getting my education way back when they still made you learn to think, reason. My reason’s been telling me for about 26 years that none of those Clintons have anything good for my sisterhood of women or more importantly my family and children. Definitely horrible for skuls.
True that.
Hillary listened to her echo chamber and got a false positive ...
She overplayed the “women against Trump” BS ... nobody believed it ... and the gals looked right through this, it is now obvious.
We were continually told that Trump was relying upon the votes of poorly educated people... until the exit polls showed that he was out polling Hillary among various groups of college educated voters.
I hope Gloria Allred is having a good time tonight!
Trump won more states than Obama did in 08... Hillary had a lot more problems than just losing white women.
They keep comparing her run to Obama. He had more in common with Trump than her. Both new faces and she had countless scandals in her resume. The left simply refuses to grasp how fed up people are with Washington in general and specifically corruption.
Grow up
It showed a lack of judgement, which was a very big concern of even her supporters. Can't help but wonder if hillary's rallies with superstars didn't overall hurt her vote in PA, OH, and Michigan.
JMHO

Her "vote your vagina" schtick didn't work, because no one is sure she has one. IS one, maybe ...
All the college educated white women and soccer moms I know voted for hillary - many did it “ for the daughters”
Today they are distraught
In a guilty way it would have been satisfying to see their daughters get drafted
Yes because guess what Killary, not all of us are focused on killing our partially born babies or pretending that there aren’t laws that regulate same pay for same job despite gender. A lot of us are concerned about the economy, immigration, taxes and other real issues.
So go suck a a bag of balls
So when will the libs call white women racist...?
I want to see them eat more of their own.
