Hillary Clinton: People say, 'I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman'
Yahoo News ^ | May 31, 2016 | Dylan Stableford

The former secretary of state and Democratic frontrunner says she still encounters sexism on the campaign trail — even on the rope line.

Hillary Clinton says while sexism on the campaign trail is not as severe as it was in 2008 when she first ran for president, it still lingers - even in her encounters with would-be supporters.

She also said that men fear ambitious women like her. "I think it's the competition," Clinton said. "Like, if you do this, there won't be room for some of us, and that’s not fair."

Has she made a definitive statement on her gender identity? Maybe she’s a man now and she just didn’t announce it.

My question...if he could choose, which ad would he prefer he not be known for...a seemingly incurable, chronic disease, or syphilis?

 ”People say, ‘I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman” said no one ever.

Does anybody really believe these quotes??

Somebody really was at a Hillary rally, and told Hillary they don’t know they could vote for her because she’s a woman? Said by someone who attended a Hillary rally?? Do any of you believe that this conversation ever took Place?

And do any of you believe that men taking the LSAT confronted Hillary and told Hillary it would be her fault if he didn’t get into law school and avoid Vietnam???

Or are these alleged events made up in Hillary’s imagination???

“Hillary Clinton: People say, ‘I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman’”

Strike that, reverse it.

I can vote for a woman, I just don’t like you.

What she didn’t say was the rest of the sentence.

‘I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman’ who sells her countries secrets for a few million dollars, lies under oath like it’s her job, has no accomplishments other than important job titles, is an impossible person to get along with, etc etc”

It'a not that Hillary is a female.

It's thaty she is Hillary Clinton.

I wouldn't have a problem voting for a woman with conservative ideals and some record of success and accomplishment - if she was the best choice for the job.

But Hillary has no record of success.

No positive accomplishments.

She is a know cheat, a liar and a scammer.

She is vindictive and nasty.

She has no respect for rules, laws or the US Constitutuion.

"She also said that men fear ambitious women like her. "I think it's the competition," Clinton said. "Like, if you do this, there won't be room for some of us, and that’s not fair."

Men don't think this way. Given a set of objective criteria, men will evaluate all candidates based on that criteria.

It's women who will eliminate men first (all men are bad), and then, apply the objective criteria.

We had a local "Survivor" type competition one year, and that is precisely how it played out. "We gotta get rid of the men, we gotta get rid of the men. They're too strong, we can't compete in the physical challenges."

It's only May!

I think Hillary is guilty of premature obfuscation.

Not at all... it’s just that she’s no Golda Meier or Lady Thatcher by a long shot.

Nah, she couldn't have made it in the 1980s. The 1980s was the era of Reagan and people were actually expected to produce. The woman card and the race card weren't a substitute for performance in those days.

Except, of course, in fields like academia and media which have always been dominated by the left.

I thought her feminine wiles was the reason people are backing her.

She can just never tell the truth. If they were in the crowd for her, why would anyone say that at the rope line? I have not heard that from anyone. If it is out there on Twitter or Facebook, it is just one of her surrogates putting out disinformation.
