[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People shouldn't vote for Hillary because she's a woman, but there's no denying that she is held to a much higher standard than the males running against her. She had to be perfect; just like everyone expects black to be perfect. If she did half the shit that Trump, or even Bernie did she wouldn't have gotten that far. 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. [/quote]

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 [b]coasted[/b]. 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[/quote]

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.[/quote]

A woman will get to the White House, just not that woman. [/quote]
