Hillary Clinton to Democrats: Don't You Want To See a Female President?

At her first public event since voters learned that she used personal email to handle sensitive government business for four years, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton avoided any suggestion or shadow of the scandal, instead delivering a dress rehearsal campaign speech to an audience of pro-choice advocates.

As for her long-deferred announcement about the 2016 presidential race, Clinton did no more than repeat old quips about the difficult question of whether to run for president, at one point asking: “I suppose it’s fair to say: don’t you someday want to see a woman president?”

[lbryce]

We might very well want to see a female president, asked of the same people who preferred a gay, black president over a lesbian female candidate except you Hillary, don't apply. You're a guy in drag.

[Da Coyote]

I wouldn’t have known it was female.

[SMARTY]

What does gender or anything ELSE matter if you are UNFIT for the job?

[Redbob]

“Yes, but we might also someday want to see a SECOND female President, and that’s why we can’t vote for you!”

[Gay State Conservative]

You betcha!

[LeoMcNeil]

This is, unfortunately, one of Hillary’s better arguments right now. The Obama administration is burning down the world, the economy stinks, everyone hates Obamacare, the public detests amnesty and Hillary is hiding her secretary of state emails and has been caught soliciting donations to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for using the power of the office of the Secretary of State to further business interests and the interests of foreign powers. With all of that working against Hillary her best argument becomes “I’m a woman!”

“What scandal? I don’t see no stinkin’ scandal! Everybody does it!” - Slick Willie’s wife.

[lbryce]

Your logic is impeccable.

....Hear me Roar!

[Afterguard]

She is the Democrat’s preferred alternative, since Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin are all dead.

[Gay State Conservative]

This is, unfortunately, one of Hillary’s better arguments right now.

The smart money says that that's Princess Liawatha's best argument.The Former Twelfth Lady is dead...she just hasn't had the decency to fall over yet.

[Personal Responsibility]

Think about this for a second:

Hillary's argument here is that you should vote for her because she's female and somehow that's not sexist

How turned around has the world has become? Now, voting against someone (the presumptive male Republican nominee) simply based on their sex is not sexist.

Orwellian.

Hillary Clinton to Democrats: Don't You Want To See a Female President?

what? Another one?

[Vaquero]

You want poke-a-heinie ?

[Rummyfan]

Sure. Sarah Palin!

[wastoute]

Anne Coulter? Sarah Palin? Sure. The witch? No way!

[Rummyfan]

With all of that working against Hillary her best argument becomes “I’m a woman!”

That has always been her best - and only! - argument.

[monocle]

Feminism has played a significant role in the destruction of the family and Hillary is effectively prescribing even more.

[Mr. K]

Unless she gets seriously burned by these new Benghazi and email revelations, it is going to be HilLIARy/Elizabeth Warren for an all-female ticket that will be tough to beat, unless we also run a female (I suggest Palin/Cruz)

thanks, but prefer someone who is qualified first, not just a gender who can finish some liberal check list.
