It isn’t her GENDER that hurts her.

It is her SOCIALISM, her MARXISM, and her SHRILLNESS that hurts her.

If there was ever a mouth designed to have a dirty athletic sock stuffed into it, it is hers.

"...with a surge of women, some of them Republican, voting for her on one side, and a bloc of men lying to pollsters about their readiness to vote for a female candidate, then voting against her in the privacy of the voting booth...."

BS. There is NO woman who has a brain in her head, who actually has chosen on the basis of her ideas to be called a "Republican" who would vote for Hillary Clinton. Those who do, are NOT and have NEVER been Republicans. They may be sexist, they are certainly idiots, but they are NOT and have NEVER been Republicans.

woman-to-woman bond

Nothing sexist about this.

If this is the reason women vote, then they should have the vote taken away from them.

Nothing like voting the issues - and this is nothing like voting the issues.

I will never ... and I repeat, never ... cast my precious vote for Hillary Clinton. Not even if she was the only woman left on earth who was running for class president, much less President of the United States. It matters not that she is a woman and I am a woman. Period. I have absolutely no sense of loyalty or obligation to her because she and I are the same gender.

I stopped reading the article at that point ... obviously the writer has an agenda with a bone to pick.

That headline is wrong. It should be :

Will Clinton’s Marxism Help her or Hurt her?

who cares?

she doesn't care, as long as she's the topic of 80% of the square footage of all newsprint, just like she has been.

I’m just wary that those libs bashing Hilary may have Obama in mind. It would be REALLY terrible to have him Prez.

In her first term, she'll have 48 shots at "that time of the month". I can't wait...

Will Clinton's gender help or hurt her?

Why has "gender" become the politically correct substitute for the term "sex"? Gender is a term from linguistics that refers to the classification of nouns, pronouns, and their modifiers according to sex, primarily in Romance, Germanic, Slavic, and other languages. Until recently, the term was rarely heard outside of linguistics and foreign language studies.

I do worry about the gender issue. There’s been a trend lately for people - both Liberals and Conservatives - to vote on emotion, not logic. That’s why slogans like “it’s for the children”, “save the environment”, etc. work so well.

I think there are a lot of people who will buy the “gender card” for that reason. There’s no logical reason to vote for hillary - but there are plenty of “feel good” aspects to voting for a woman - any woman.

Now if the GOP nominee selected a woman as vp.......

Her gender is too overshadowed by her insanity to make a difference!

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter, but I seriesly doubt Hillary will get many votes from Republican women. As we get closer to the election, and if she is the dem candidate, get ready for all the phony op-eds stating “I am a Republican female, but I’m voting for Hillary”.

summed up by one fan at an early Clinton rally in Iowa: “I feel it in the heart.”

Blech. Time for a transplant, honey. Or maybe it's just gas.

“We have no benchmark. We have no way to know,” said Kathleen Dolan, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who’s written extensively on female candidates and voters.

Does the name Segolene Royal ring any bells Kathleen?

Lady, what you're "feeling in the heart" is gas, and it's gonna pass. Hopefully, before the election. The next thing you "feel" from Hillary Clinton is gonna be felt in your A$$, and that won't be gas. It will be her hand on your wallet.

Just wait until Lynne Cheney is the GOP VP nominee. That is a woman with major accomplishments.

I’m female and I simply don’t like Hillary Clinton. I also don’t like her ideas, what she has done in the past, or where she wants to take this nation. She wouldn’t get my vote in any election.

But any male who had the same things coming out of his mouth and who had the same background would not get my vote.

Voting for a president is a serious undertaking and emotions shouldn’t have anything to do with it. Sure -— presence and looks do sway us but core beliefs, the ability to lead, and a sense of nationalism (not self-power) should be foremost -— not sex.

Those who would vote for her just because she is a woman are showing their shallowness and have no idea the harm their stupidy could cost.

At the risk of sounding like the misogynist her husband really is, this is not the time for a woman who isn’t at least in the mold of Margaret Thatcher at the helm!
