Clinton ’16 Would Give Gender More of a Role Than Clinton ’08 Did
New York Times ^ | February 24, 2015 | Amy Chozick and Jonathan Martin

The last time Hillary Rodham Clinton ran for president, she seemed torn over whether to emphasize her chance to make history, or to play down her gender and reassure voters that she was tough enough for the job.

This time there is no question: Mrs. Clinton’s potential to break what she has called “the highest and hardest glass ceiling” is already central to her fledgling 2016 presidential campaign.

But rather than the assertive feminism associated with her years as first lady, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign message will be subtler. It will involve frequent references to being a mother and grandmother and to how her family has inspired her to embrace policies that she believes would help middle-class families.

The only reason PIAPS was stopped in 2008 was because Americans felt more guilt over racism than sexism. With that out of the way PAIPS can say its our turn for another symbolic POTUS.

The media lined up behind Obama in the fall of 2007. The Left began to wag their tongues unleashing 20 years of dislike they held for the Clintons.

Of course, both sides will pretend none of that ever happened.

They’ve squeezed all they can out of the racist theme. Time to move on to the sexist theme.

Obama’s team used the racist card against the Clintons and Bill complained to the press about it in 2008.

And the sheeple who were so excited to be ‘a part of history by electing the first Black President’ are still that stupid. Pray our country awakens and decides to stop our slide into mediocrity/government subserviance.

I don’t suppose America will be the first nation to be too stupid to live. But its death will be the most tragic in history.

And will will try to use the sexist/misogynist card.

Except that while Democrats called Hillary a B**** in 2008, they called Sarah Palin a B*, C*, and told rape jokes about her and her daughter. They lynched Sarah in effigy and were downright vile.

So they can trot out the ‘sexist’ card. They are merely projecting and protecting.

What? No mention of being a wife of a pedophile/serial rapist? No mention of her own wife, Huma, Homa or whatever her name is?

Without even discussing opposition candidates, debates, or issues, there is no doubt who they are voting for in 2016.

LOL I’d love to see them photoshopped holding a bill for the $8 trillon in national debt Caliph Baraq has loaded on them.

Who would have predicted in Jan 2007 that a year later Hillary would run 3rd behind a guy from Kenya named Hussein and Rielle Hunter’s baby daddy.

John Edwards was propped up to keep Hillary in an unwinable 3-way race for delegates.

The DNCpravda Media was more concerned about giving ink to a rumored affair John McCain had with a lobbyist than ANY coverage to John Kerry’s own adulterous affair or bastard child.

I don’t know about propped up, but he came fairly close to becoming VPOTUS in 2004.

I predict the dumbocrats will run HilLIARy/Warren

The liar and liar team will be tough to beat because there are so many women voters, unless the GOP runs Palin/Cruz

Palin at the top would counter the all women ticket, and Cruz combo will energize the base to be hopeful for 16 years of conservative bliss.

I think Palin will run one-term and then it will be cruz/walker

The horrible performance record of PIAPS herself is the biggest argument against putting females in leadership positions
solely on the basis of their plumbing without regard for a demonstrated lack of skills, ability or competence.

Gender as in "mother and grandmother?" How about gender in the role she spent so much more of her life on? As strong-arm cover-up specialist: from intimidating victims of Bill's "Bimbo Eruptions" to framing an obscure youtuber for her Benghazi debacle and cover-up.
