At the chance of being called a racist, my take is that
race played a larger role than today’s feminist role.
It’s like America was falling all over itself to prove it wasn’t racist, even though the first “racially special” candidate would probably have been beat out by 9 out of 10 otherwise Constitutionally qualified people of that same, er, people group chosen from the Chicago phone book.
An America focused on the superficial had a bogosity foisted on it.
Trump is striving to win in both worlds. He is the bread and the circuses all in one.

Well if it is racist to state the facts, then I suppose its racist, but in your defense, a lot and I do mean a lot of people that supported Oblahblah did so only because of the color of skin and with no knowledge of qualifications, background, or intentions for the country.
A lot of people that voted for him to be “historic” aren’t necessarily “feeling it” for her Thighness - Thankfully.
Nothing racist about it.
Female politicians are old hat. Thatcher, Gandhi, Merkel, Bhutto, Gillard, et al.
We’ve had female governors everywhere and in Congress, as the wizened Feinstein and Pelosi demonstrate. Hillary is (or appears) as old as they so the Female Factor has even less impact due to her haggard features, sausage fingers, Dutch Boy haircut and shapeless Mao suits. The only thing remotely feminine about her is that icepick-frequency voice. She and her team know it’s a huge turnoff and she strains mightily to keep it in a low register but that’s impossible to do when shouting. And she does a lot of shouting.
At some point a basic trust factor has to kick in as a voter asks ‘Would I trust this person to take $10 to the store for a gallon of milk and to return the change?’ In the case of Obama and many socialists the voter might even believe that the candidate would get the milk but return the entire $10. But even so-called pro-Hillary voters know that Hillary’s first thought would be to abscond with the money, forget the milk and blame the voter for asking in the first place.
