Sexism is the sole reason Hillary lost

[Anonymous]

No, wrong.

Those who failed to vote for her are sexists.

That's just how it is.

[Anonymous]

She lost because she's a "congenital liar", but she can't help it. There's no hope for her healing, unless she gets some good professional help.

It had nothing to do with her being a woman, it had to do with her being Hilary. People are sick of political dynasties, and saw that she is power hungry. If there was another woman, I bet the story would be different. And what's with all the head wagging? Was she going for a president or a school principal?

[Anonymous]

SHE LOST BECAUSE SHE IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE AND NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.

[Anonymous]

No... Sexism is the sole reason Hillary almost won. Lots of people voted for Hillary because they were excited to have the first female president. And, lots of people voted against Trump because of his statements regarding women. Hillary's gender only helped her. Hillary's stale campaign and poor policies are the reason she lost.

As a woman who voted for less bad candidate, I am now glad Hilary didn't win. Democratic party was too complacent, that much was clear when the President had to do more work in the last few days than the candidate.

There's also no denying that she lost many votes, soley for being a woman.

Before you accuse me of bias, the sand held true for Sarah Palin.

Yes, but here's the thing that people like Barack Obama have known all along. You have to work twice as hard. She didn't. It's as simple as that. She was completely complacent because she knew she was the better political candidate, she had more experience in all fields of knowledge, she was smarter, she was more articulate, she had bigger donor numbers, she was the favorable candidate. She let all of that get to her head and she coasted. Do you think Barack Obama got to be President twice with a 10,000,000 vote lead over McCain just because he was the better candidate? Hell no. She should have known that and she should have worked her ass off.

Instead she:

- Dialed down campaign add runs
- Didn't step it up in key states
- Laughed at and mocked his antics on social media
- Didn't distance herself from staff that core constituents objected to
- Spent more time with donors than with blue-collar voters

Oh, so Hillary had to work her ass off? Did Trump? Hardly. He's a cult of personality. I didn't say it was the sole reason. However, EVERYONE is blaming it on other factors - not even accounting for sexism. A woman will never get to the White House if we don't acknowledge this.

Further, look at Obama's personality. He's magnetic. Are we only to have magnetic types in the office? I think that's folly. Hillary said herself that she wasn't a good campaigner. She is a policy wonk and believes in public service. I really think we need to examine this. Bush was your neighbor. Joe Biden you can have a drink with. Hillary is shrill and cold. Even Bill, for all his philandering, comes off better.

A) Sure there was sexism but the HRC supporters who think that's the only reason are being unrealistic. Just look at the number of female voters she lost and tell me their all misogynists. Please.
B) Yes, Obama was magnetic and to be first of something that's what you need. You need someone who can win a crowd, you need someone who is smarter than everyone else, you need someone who is approachable.

Basically to be the first to step on the moon you need to be the best you can be. Donald Trump is just *another* in a long line of old white men. You want to be the first black president? You want to be the first woman president? You want to be first Jewish president? You have to rise above the hurdle of being what you are and surpass that in the populace's eyes so that you are unbeatable. You don't rest on your laurels.

She lost because she thought she had this election in the bag. Hubris, pride, whatever you want to call it. End of story.

I have zero reaction when I come across MM and CS. As a woman I give no special notice to female executives negative or positive. I also didn't vote for HRC and it had nothing to do with gender.

Seriously this schtick is getting so old. You don't gain respect by whining and crying victim; you invite derision and scorn. Feminists like you are exactly what gives the rest of us a bad name.

[Anonymous]

But Babe listen. I know losing is painful. You should have learned that and how to cope up with it when you were younger. If this election loss can derail you this much how are you going to cope with greater losses in your life in the years to come?

So let me get this straight. Women and minirities need to aim higher? You are proving my point. Hillary was smarter than many - she knew policy inside out. And, to prove my point...niw that we've had a black president get in the door, future black men can relax a bit now, like white men, on their way in?! Yeah, NO! Obama didn't have any scandals because he's a great guy - but he had to be perfect. The bar is higher. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge this?

That is my exact point. You know the bar is higher, you don't relax in the last stretch - you go all in.

She got complacent. Read this: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/trump-clinton-electoral-college/506306/

A woman will get to the White House, just not that woman.
