Commentary: Democrats’ rejection of Elizabeth Warren shows misogyny is still rampant
Chicago Tribune ^ | 3/05/20 | EMILY L. HAUSER

**SNIP**

Anyone who hasn’t had those experiences, or known what it’s like to plan an entire day and an entire life around the possibility of sexual assault or harassment, or what it’s like to be the only one of your gender in a room marked by power, or what it’s like to have your reproductive freedom legislated by people with different reproductive organs - simply brings a different sensibility to the issues that shape the lives of 164 million Americans. It matters that women are so often absent from the halls of power, and it’s well past time for one to be in the White House.

But Warren’s campaign - for which I have canvassed across state lines, made calls, live-tweeted speeches and raised more than $10,000 - faltered and finally ended Thursday. Despite her wisdom, compassion and proven success in establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, unseating an incumbent Republican in Massachusetts and destroying the campaign of a billionaire with a history of sexual harassment complaints (bye, Mike Bloomberg) - Democrats, the ostensible party of progressive values, have decided they prefer one of two near-80-year-old men: Joe Biden, who oversaw the shameful railroading of Anita Hill in the 1991 Clarence Thomas hearings, or Bernie Sanders, a man who was unaware that his 2016 campaign had been roiled with complaints of sexual harassment and gender pay disparities and when later asked about it by Anderson Cooper, responded that he hadn’t known at the time because he was “a little bit busy running around the country.”

Of course, both men have also supported women: Biden introduced the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, and Sanders has since adopted a sexual harassment policy that he terms “the gold standard.” How wonderful that they have some notion that women, too, deserve full citizenship rights.

Or how about the reproductive freedom of countless dads whose wives divorced them, and then spent years denying them access to their own kids, and bad mouthing and trying to destroy their bonds with their kids?

“known what it’s like to plan an entire day and an entire life around the possibility of sexual assault or harassment”

When you count Bidens and Clintons among your running buddies that comes with the territory.

Actually if a conservative Margaret Thacter was the Republican candidate in a election against a Obama then she would get about 80% of the evangelical vote (even though it should be a man), like as neo conservative Romney did.

If it sounds too good to be true... .

Thursday on MSNBC's "The Eleventh Hour" with Brian Williams, New York Times Editorial Board Member Mara Gay and the host accepted without question a tweet that (jokingly) said that Michael Bloomberg could have given every American one million dollars with the five hundred million dollars he spent on his short-lived presidential campaign.

In reality, $500 million divided by 327 million Americans is about $1.53 per person. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/03/06/msnbcs_brian_williams_new_york_times_editorial_board_member_mara_gay_five_divided_by_three_equals_one_million.html

This is a post from the Far Left Lunatic Chicago Tribune which is about to go out of business. The leftists are going on Chicago Radio and TV stations begging for a local Billionaire to step in and save the worthless America Hating Tribune.

“On the day the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Donald Trump can be heard bragging about sexual assault were released, my daughter was 13 years old. That night I held her close as she cried, because she’d just learned that the world was full of grown men who might want to hurt her.”

Her daughter would be in much more danger around Joe Biden than Donald Trump.

And even more danger around Ted Kennedy, Bubba Clinton and the aptly named Carlos Danger, who sexts with underage girls like her daughter.

Yes. I don’t understand these media people. Warren was defeated and you can’t blame misogynistic Republicans. They don’t vote in Democrat primaries. If misogyny is a problem, it’s a Democrat problem.

I think that Democrats run blacks and women primarily so they can claim racism and misogyny.

Yet they do not even know the proper definition of either word. Liberals are so profoundly ignorant.

And by the way, wasn’t Hillary Clinton a woman? Did she not win the nomination and get many, many votes?

More proof of Rule #1 in the Liberal Handbook;

It's always someone else's fault.

The usual suspects just can't seem to get it through their heads that gender has nothing to do with it. Liz Warren is a jerk. A liar and she never had a chance at the nomination.

The Democrats clearly believe that every Democrat woman is fully qualified to be president, simply because she is a woman. So if she isn’t doing well in the primaries, it cannot possibly because she is not qualified to be president.
Yet, that is exactly the case here. Warren would make a terrible president, even if she were a man.
The Democrats haven’t offered up any candidate of either sex who isn’t a corrupt liar.
Like it or not, among millions of voters, character does still matter.

Sure it does, Emily. It couldn’t possibly be that she, like Hillary, just plain suck as candidates for political office.
