AP: Hillary dropping gender argument after study shows no one’s interested and no one cares
Hot Air ^ | May 24, 2016 | Ed Morrissey

What if you threw a gender party and no one came? A nice catch from the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross allows us to add this to the Buried Lede Department. The Associated Press reported a couple of days ago on Team Hillary’s delight over Donald Trump’s personal attacks on Hillary and Bill Clinton, but only offered this nugget at the very end of the report. It turns out that claiming her physiology as a unique qualifier turned more voters off than on:

Trump’s eagerness to make gender a major issue has complicated the delicate balancing act she already faces as the first woman to head a major party ticket.

Clinton has stopped explicitly mentioning her role in history and joking about being the “youngest woman president.” That’s by design: Those kinds of direct appeals weren’t working with voters.

“De-emphasize the ‘first’ talk,” advised a research report done by Emily’s List. “They already know she’d be the first woman president,” the report said of donors, “but we don’t get anything by reminding them.”

so what does she have left now? her great economic plan? her brilliant commitment to protect the country? her mastery of deal making with international trade partners? bringing back manufacturing? her wall to control illegals pouring into the country? NAME ONE, Hillery, just ONE.

Obama is more feminine than she is.

There is something very inhuman and mechanical about her. Even her speech is clunky and forced, like a nasty AI.

Hillary can blame Obama for this.

After nearly eight years of Barack Insane Obama flogging the race card till its in tatters, no one wants to see another Special Group card in use.

Poor Hillary should have flogged the gender card harder back in 08.

I encourage Trump to do it anyway for those 30 and under who never knew this !!

I suspect he will because it's his nature. He fights.

I started a Cruz guy because he struck me as a rock ribbed conservative who fought. I was tired of squishy moderates who acted like an abused spouse who meekly takes the pummeling every election. Well, Cruz fought but Trump, well, with Trump it's like a cage match.

I feel at times like Lincoln must have with Ulysses S Grant. Grant was a drinker and unmannered and the genteel society didn't want him but Lincoln said "I can't spare this man, he fights!". And so he did, and the body counts rose and rose and I'm sure Lincoln cringed at the toll of each victory but, well, Grant was fighting (and winning!) and none of his predecessors showed much heart for that. Lincoln wanted victories and the only guy giving him them regularly was the drunk with muddy boots that fought like a swarm of wasps. So to hell with what the society dames and the elite generals want, Grant the fighter remains!

And so it is when Trump tweets out stuff that sometimes I cringe and shake my head at. I don't like everything he does but dammit, he fights! I'm with him!

Wonderfully written analogy. I think our nation senses our impending moral, economic,cultural and in deed out national demise if we do not “fight” NOW!!

Hillary is running the same type of campaign Dems have run for years. The same playbook. The same tactics. The same issues. Same-ole, same-ole.

She failed to pay close attention to the Republican primaries.

There, the Republican contenders, except one, were running the same type of campaign Pubbies have run for years. The same playbook. The same tactics. The same issues. Same-ole, same-ole.

Wouldn’t you love to get into a Hillary focus group and play with their minds? The outcome would be HILLarious... Convince them that Hillary needs to only wear orange pantsuits....with DOC across the back to support doctors.

Took half of her arsenal away in one fell swoop.....Trump defused the “treat the female special because it’s sexist to not respect her, no matter how vile she is” ammo out of her pouch.....Carly showed us that it doesn’t work anymore.

No, I don’t think so.

There are a number of pictures of her from last century where she appears to have blue or hazel eyes. So unless she has been wearing blue contacts for a very long time, it seems like that’s her real eyes.

It’s obvious the people who did the study haven’t seen pictures or television news clips of gay days in San Francisco or the Disney parks.
