Hillary Clinton lost the presidency because of sexism, former aide Jennifer Palmieri says

Hillary Clinton's former communications director Jennifer Palmieri on Monday cited sexism as a key factor in why the 2016 Democratic nominee for president lost the election.

"Fundamentally, I think there's just something they find suspicious in a woman looking to succeed," Palmieri told NBC host Megyn Kelly in a conversation about Clinton's loss.

"I think that a man would have survived that [email scandal] and I think that there was going to be something in the campaign that ended, the emails, if it weren't the emails, it would have been something else," Palmieri explained.

"She's always been stepping a little outside of the box and I just think that's how it manifests itself, is that people, she vexes them, they don't know what to think of her," she added.

She lost because Democrat Party Honcho Dean disenfranchised Michigan in 2008 for the audacity of trying to set a primary date that mattered.

Candidate Trump made nice to Michigan and Ohio just before the big election of 2016 and they reciprocated.

Hillary could have simply picked up the phone and asked Green Party candidate Jill Stein to drop out to increase her vote count.

Wasn’t Jennifer the co-conspirator with Leon Podesta regarding infiltrating the Catholic Church to change it?

That might have some validity if most people thought of her as a woman.

Political consultant and candidates can say, "We screwed up" once and they're done.

Come up with somebody else to blame and they can keep coming back again and again -- at least on some media outlets.

Who'd hire them for other campaigns if they're on record talking about how badly they messed things up?

No, she got her power the old fashioned way that women have gotten power for centuries-through the vagina.

She won the popular vote and lost because of sexism.

Ergo, the Electoral College is sexist. lol

Hillary lost because of a lousy democratic platform.

Hillary lost because she is as personable as a pile of parrot droppings.

Hillary lost because a dude named Vladimir Putin stuffed all the ballot boxes for Trump.

There, I fixed it.

I’m 100% American FEMALE, ALPHA, FIRST BORN. I VOTED TRUMP! And because I do all the political research so did my husband, son, sister, BIL, their 2 daughters, 1 son, and several cousins.
