[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand why so many people here can't comprehend that most people who voted for Trump, really voted against Hilary, that it has nothing to do with her being a woman. Press has long abandoned any semblance of civility or impartiality either way.  The fact that main stream media vilified Trump and he still won, should be a wake up sign that real American people are not fools educated liberals take them for.  Why would democratic party run a horse that already lost once before? I know, I know she won the popular vote, but she didn't win the election.  I am not a Trumpist at all.[/quote]

I think people DO comprehend that people were voting against Hillary.

I don't like the way the NYT piece so obviously edited answers, but it did do a good job of showing that voting decisions may have the appearance of being objective - even to the person who made them.  But they're actually more emotion than anything and emotions can't be explained well.

I thought it was interesting that almost all of the women in the article supported values and policy espoused by Clinton -[b] they're feminist, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage - and that they all felt the same dismay at Trump's behavior that she expressed[/b].  But they each pivoted to something negative about Clinton while lauding that very thing in Trump.  [/quote]

I think this is a good thing, and gives me hope for the future.
It was not a rejection of those policies, it was a rejection of HRC, the candidate. This is why it makes sense for some of these Trump voters to participate in the Women's March.
(BTW, many people voted for Obama because they liked the man, not necessarily the polices, which to me is equally crazy)

It does not make sense to me because I vote based on policies always, but others vote for the  person, and of the two people they did not like, they chose Trump.[/quote]
