Barbra Streisand Says It Was ‘Heartbreaking’ To See Hillary Clinton Lose The Election
Huffington Post ^ | April 27, 2017 | By Julia Brucculieri

Like many after the 2016 election, Barbra Streisand was disappointed with the results. In fact, she was heartbroken.

The Oscar winner opened up about Hillary Clinton’s loss during an interview with WNYC’s Leonard Lopate. In her opinion, it all came down to the fact that “women are still so underestimated” in society.

“It’s incredible to watch even this last election with Hillary, the kind of strong woman, the powerful woman, the educated woman, the experienced woman, being thought of as the other, or too elite, or too educated,” she said.

“It’s very, very odd to me, and it was heartbreaking for her to lose, you know?”

When Lopate asked whether Streisand agreed with Clinton, who’s said misogyny played a part in the election she replied, “Totally.”

She later added, “Power and woman has always been suspect. Strong women have always been suspect ― don’t you think? ― in this country.”

Most of the Hollywood Left were devastated by Hillary Clinton's loss because they contributed HUGE amounts of money to her campaign--some say as much as $300 million.

AW contrare, Baba.
It filled my heart with an inestimable gladness.
The only thing better would have been to see
her gibbering melt down on the night in question.

Power and woman has always been suspect.

So is your ability to construct a grammatically correct sentence, Babs.

She’s still consuming oxygen. It wasn’t heartbreaking enough.

The only thing it takes to make this hack over-the-top scag hypocrite is say "hello."

Here is her modest abode, seeing as how she does so much for the poor and all. If you look closely you can see where she houses all the refugees and homeless*

I actually agree. It WAS heartbreaking to see Hillary lose the election...by only 77 electoral votes. Should have been 177.

Too bad it wasn’t voice breaking, IMO.

Heartbroken at one election? How do you think WE fell after 30 years of disappointment with your party’s policies? Oh, that’s right, you don’t care.

This woman has the IQ of a brick and the sense of a snail. Liberals all live in fantasy land.

Truer than true...

BUT

Babs probably a stronger candidate that hRc

Kind of like the Russky headlines AFTER an American beat a Russian sprinter in a two man race.

Glorious Russian runner places 2nd in historic race while American finished next to last
