As far as ABC’s Cokie Roberts is concerned, Donald Trump attacking Hillary Clinton as “unhinged” is basically a gendered attack.
Trump has recently taken to calling Clinton “unhinged” and “unbalanced,” implying she’s “not all there.”
On ABC’s This Week this morning, Sara Fagen said that’s not the issue people have with Clinton, so that won’t be a particularly helpful line of attack.
Then Roberts said, “‘Unhinged’ and ‘she doesn’t look presidential’ is totally code for ‘we shouldn’t elect a woman.’ That’s exactly what that is.”

Sorry Kookie. You’re the one who is unhinged. I just watched the first 20 seconds of Clinton’s seizure in Vegas when the Animal Rights kooks went off about 20 times. It’s scary. You wouldn’t happen to know the profession of the big black guy would you? Clinton has got some very serious medical problems. I’ve been saying for the past couple of weeks that she only wants to be elected for the “history” books and then will resign. Now I know I’m right. You Ms. Roberts are pimping a defective candidate to the American people. It’s not Trump who is “unfit” for the presidency, it’s your “Hillary”.
[Cokie Roberts: Trump Calling Clinton Unhinged Is Code for “We Shouldn’t Elect a Woman”]
And her point is? I mean Hillary is no Maggie Thatcher, more a lesser Merkel.
Cokie Roberts father was Democrat House Majority Leader before he went missing on a plane trip in Alaska.
Hey Cokie you desiccated POC...sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar. Well, in your case it might or might not be...
I think she is out of touch with the liberal playbook. Don’t they refer to their “codes” now as “dog whistles”? (When people caught on they were all using it, they had to change the terminology!)
cokie, its comments like this that makes us wonder where your nickname comes from.
Where is the code book published and how can I buy one?
How come only leftist have a copy and know what words mean?
Sorry Cokie... you read the code wrong. The associated code for “unhinged” and “she doesn’t look presidential” is ‘we shouldn’t elect an idiot’. It’s my understanding that Hillary is the author of the book “It Takes a Village Idiot”. You should really study your code more, Cokie.
“HILLARY needs to come clean with her health condition.”
She might really have a serious health condition. We can’t go hard on her if she truly has brain damage or whatever.
Trump’s gotta be careful here. He can’t disrespect the disabled or infirm.
Her health might make her incapable of continuing her campaign. I think we’ll see some fancy maneuvers to get her out of the debates.
Another mysterious death of a Democrat.
We shouldn’t elect THAT woman!
Has Trump ever spoken this way about GOP contenders such as Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin?
I agree completely.
And the possibility of this all being a scam (trap) is also there, small, tiny chance, but not zero chance.
Cokie Roberts needs to STFU and go away already.
She was never a good reporter
Shove it Cokie.
Actually, Cokie only thinks with the lower, reactive part of her brain.
She refuses to face the reality that Hillary has been unhinged for DECADES—way before her concussion!!!!
“Hinges” are gender neutral.
Boggs was looking into Kennedy assassination. I believe he died in a small plane crash and was never found.
Calling Cokie Roberts a journalist is code for someone who know nothing whatsoever about reporting.
Wow, will wonders never cease? I thought Coke-E died years ago. I guess she just became irrelevant years ago. She got by on her looks for 30 years. Never had a brain in her head anyway.
The Clintons regularly used the “Nuts and Sluts” defense against women. Liberals didn’t mind it then. What goes around, comes around Cokie.
