“If a person votes against a candidate because he is vaginally impaired or for a candidate because she is vaginally gifted means the voter has a total cerebreal deficit.”

Run a hermaphrodite.

The propensity to lie,cheat and steal is not gender driven.

If men don’t want to vote for her because she reminds of them of a first wife, how many women will want to vote for their nightmare of what a mother-in-law looks and acts like?

I will never ... and I repeat, never ... cast my precious vote for Hillary Clinton.

Hence proving that you aren't really just a dumb blonde. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Mrs. Clinton's gender is not a problem and is nonsense anyway. Her sex might influence the vote of some female women and of the Alanalda women.

Gender is a label in language that categorizes nouns. It came into use as a synonym of sex so that politicians don't have to use that pedestrian word "sex."

I’ve thought for awhile now that for every “moderate” woman who votes for Hillary, two Dem men will stay home or vote for the Republican. Hillary’s sex, gender or whatever we’re calling it today isn’t going to help her win one little bit.

Well, let's see. His has wrecked a few lives and damaged a generation.

Time will tell about hers.

That couldn’t be Websters. It is NOT culturally determined, it is genetically determined. By sex organs.

Well the rat has not gotten the White male vote since 1964. Anyone who thinks ITT will bring White males back to the rat line is smoking his own evidence ( a little cop lingo there). I know lil dick morris thinks ITT will bring out female voters who have never voted before and I agree. I don’t however agree that they will show up to support ITT.
I think enough will show up to vote against her to blunt her supposed advantage. On balance ITT loses the gender question and we have not even looked at issues. Since ITT’s campaign seems to be losing the battle to control and script her news conferences, she is beatable. It will be a long slow pull but we can stop her.

Depends on who she is dating.

I’m just arguing with Political Correctness, not you. Makes me want to roll my eyes.
