Why isn't Hillary Clinton doing better with women voters?
CNN Op ^ | 8-22-2015 | Martha Pease

(snip)

Still, the larger point is that Hillary is not doing as well among women voters as would have been expected a month ago and Trump is surviving among Republican women better than expected. Since women will provide well over half the vote in 2016, decoding how they make decisions is critical to both sides.

So, what is going on among women voters? What seems clear is that Hillary is trying to appeal to women in an old-fashioned way that doesn't work as well as it once did. Her team apparently thinks that by aggressively selling hard facts, advancing policies or giving her version of the email controversy, Hillary's campaign will have women flocking to her banner.

(snip)

Clinton's eroding favor with women may also be tied up in their investment in her as standard bearer. Women I talk with of both parties definitely want to be a driving force in electing the first woman to the White House, but they also want the "right" woman -- not a politician who happens to be a woman. A recent Quinnipiac poll showing that 57% of all voters believe that she is not honest and trustworthy, and a Fox poll finding that 58% think she is lying about the emails, should be setting off alarm bells at Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn. .......

As bizarre as it may seem, Hillary Clinton might take a page from his (i.e.,Trump's) book: Many women find it refreshing when they are told a straight story and are left to draw their own conclusions. "Here I am. I have nothing to hide. It's up to you to decide if you like me or not."

I didn’t look at the poll data either. But I assume that if she isn’t polling well with women, she is probably doing worse with men. But CNN is not curious about that. Only Hillary’s appeal to women. Because men don’t count, apparently.

That would be hilarious if it were not so pitiful - and if so many morons didn’t actually believe it.

I read an “analysis” from some MSM columnist explaining how Hillary was “relatively” younger than Reagan because the average lifespan of women is longer.

I wonder how that will work for SlowJoe? Maybe idiots have longer lifespans too?

Women don’t like lying, cheating men; nor women who do the same. Hillary is an insult to intelligent women everywhere.

it's obvious to me...

women know women better than they know men. most men see The Wicked Witch Bitch for who she really is. women see that even more so.

Well, I guess women hate greedy, money-grubbing, lying, corrupt politicians just as much as men do.

Perhaps Hillary’s thoroughly dishonest nature, the fingernail-on-chalkboard voice and condescending personality might be contributing factors.

Bad teeth and gum disease is a turn off for most women.

A rainbow of pantsuits! Wow!
If Hillary does become president, I wonder if they will praise her amazing fashion sense, like they do Michelle.

MSM is apparently in abject shock that not every female citizen votes with her vagina.
