Hillary Clinton: White women voted against me because the men in their lives told them to
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 15, 2017 | Becket Adams

Hillary Clinton has expanded on her earlier claim that sexism helped torpedo her 2016 campaign, stating more specifically this week that white women were scared off by their husbands, brothers, boyfriends and male employers.

"When women are serving on behalf of someone else, as I was when I was Secretary of State, for example, they are seen favorably," the twice-failed presidential candidate said this week in an interview with NPR.

She added, "But when they step into the arena and say, 'Wait a minute, I think I could do the job, I would like to have that opportunity,' their favorabilities goes down."

Clinton continued her conversation with NPR, recalling a recent conversation she said she had with Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, who told the former secretary of state that a woman's unpopularity is directly proportional to her success.

"Sheryl ended this really sobering conversation by saying that women will have no empathy for you, because they will be under tremendous pressure – and I'm talking principally about white women – they will be under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for 'the girl,'" Clinton said.....

And that, right there, is why the women in my family did not vote for her. Condescending a$$hat.

The spouse says that I’m a narrow minded Trump supporter that refuses to listen to the “other” side.

She voted for the libertarian. For some reason insulting democrats is a problem. I regard dims as evil.

I had a phb-ette that lived the hive mind liberal mindset. It was very ugly and so was she.

One of my neighbors was a poll place watcher or whatever.

I hope she cried in great pain when her commie tin goddess failed. She is a huge liberal just like her worthless jerk husband.

Your mother sounds like a very sensible person.

I like the way you phrased the hatred with suns.

Many white women probably voted for Trump simply because they saw that he is a PERSON of action, accomplishments, new ideas, and consistent principles. All things she lacked.

They also felt more secure in supporting someone who would defend their country rather than weaken it. National security was an important issue to them.

And lastly, they didn’t want a corrupt liar running the country. For those reasons, they simply voted for the PERSON they had the most confidence in.

It’s the same at my house. I do all the research. My husband respects that I do that and he usually brings my marked-up sample ballot into the booth with him when he votes.

Hillary’s comment is proof, once again, of her deep disdain for women. I also think it’s a bit of Projection. I would bet that SHE feels dominated by Bill and knows that she only got where she is by doing as HE says, so she thinks all women are as weak and spineless as she is.

Let’s face it: she was only elected in New York because of what BILL did.

Seems like Hillary must not know very many women.

She is senile. A power of attorney should be appointed to handle her dealings and concerns.

I guess nobody told her that 40% of NRA members are female.

Their husbands, sons, boyfriends, uncles forced them to join ... at gunpoint!

She is psychotic and repulsive. The sycophant sheep who prop her up are the real problem just like the Obamobots.

It seems the high point of Hillary’s life is losing in 2016. What she is trying to accomplish by remaining stuck in her loss is beyond me.

November 2016 was to have been the pinnacle of her entire life. Winning the Presidency was her goal since she'd been a little girl. It's why she had latched on to a womanizing hick named Bill Clinton, whom she never actually loved (she was a lesbian witch, after all). Even Chelsea was a requirement for the ascent (Bill's high-school lover, in her book, said that 3 months after Chelsea's birth, Hillary groused "Dammit! Do I have to stay home with this #$@$! kid??? When can I go back to work?").

Every step along the way, from the criminality to the lies, to the Arkancides, was for one purpose and one purpose only: to get her to the nomination and winning the election. Now, in the depths of her black heart, she realizes that her opportunity is gone. She may outwardly think that she can try atain in 2020, but deep down, she knows it's over.

That's why her mind is stuck in this infinite loop of seeking reasons for her loss...

Of course, being a malignant narcissist, she can never look inwards to see the actual reason. Hence she will never escape the loop.

She is living in her own self-made Hell.

She doesn’t have much faith in women. They only do what men tell them to do? Maybe in Iran.

The Media surely can find some good to write about other than Hillary’s ranting. It should be obvious to anyone who has an IQ number higher than their shoe size she is looney

Hillary clearly doesn’t remember that the voting booth is private. A husband can tell a wife day after day 24/7 to not vote for Hillary, but once that curtain closes, it is up to her. Her decision was Trump. I do like how they stretch and stretch to see why she lost. Nobody seems to say it was all her.....she is just unlikable.
