More women feeling skeptical about Clinton's authenticity - though they wish they weren't

Well said, well said. This is indeed a true, empirical observation.

That quote from the Cable Guy was originally spoken by John Lennon back in the early 60’s.

It’s all blind ambition; the flip-flopping proves it. She doesn’t have a plan of where she would take the country; rather she gets up every morning and looks at the polls to see what her positions are going to be that day just like Bill, because she wants the POWER! Anyone who wants the power that bad should never ever have it, as Bill’s presidency proves, a Hillary presidency would be a return to corruption, and national humiliation.

[murron]

I wouldn't discount her so soon. All she needs to do is win one more state that Bush didn't carry. And that can be accomplished by having all the Democratic precinct captains skew the vote count in key precincts, and she can carry the state. The Clintons have always won by chicanery and cheating. There is a great book that was published in the 90s by Gene Wirges that explains how Bill kept getting re-elected by finagling the absentee ballot votes in certain counties. Any place that has Dems in charge know how to skewer the results in key places to get the results they want. They tried it in Florida in 2000, but the Bush people fought back, and the libs haven't stopped screaming about it ever since.

Women can spot a phony woman faster than men can.

I beg to differ. She has a particularly poorly-structured face, with cheeks like a chipmunk and bad teeth. Her eyes pop out, her forehead is disproportional, and she has a particularly unpleasant combination of wrinkles and too-taut skin, either from Botox or plastic surgery. Her eyes admittedly are cold (almost reptilian) as a result of her less than winning personality.

It's not so much the 30 pounds (and I just lost 25 so I know about that) as it is the distribution, which is mostly around her hips and thighs, although she also has a prominent belly. And her legs are just not attractive - what the Japanese call "daikon legs" and I would call "piano legs" - beef to the instep.

But it's her personality that's the real problem. If she didn't behave like the Reptile Queen, folks would overlook her physical shortcomings.

Oh, gag...the woman is as fake as a $3 bill.

Her voice is fake, her marriage is fake, her concern about the poor is fake, her loyalties are fake.

Just like her husband: everything she says and does is calculated and, well, not genuine.

” Polling, which at this point still mainly measures name ID, certainly shows a far more mixed picture for Mrs. Clinton where female voters are concerned; 51 percent of those who participated in a recent Washington Post-ABC News survey said they support her for the Democratic nomination.”

I support her for the nomination...how idiotic is this poll?

[popdonnelly]

“the guilt that many women expressed over their lack of enthusiasm for her.”

This is just idiotic. If I support a woman candidate over a man, should I as a man feel guilty?

[popdonnelly]

I once worked with a man who had personal dealings with Hillary back when Bill was Governor of Arkansas, and he loathed her. Said she was a total bitch.

[Hostage]

Women should absolutely make sure Hillary is not the nominee because it would set back any chance that a woman has of being President for a long time.

It’s not because men hate her. It’s not because they can’t stand her husband.

Here’s why.

Any way you look at it, Hillary is polarizing. If she gets into the White House every decision she makes or doesn’t make will be viewed in the extreme. She has no hope of a successful term as President because her real intentions have no hope of ever gaining acceptance. And she and her husband are a reminder of a lewd scene in American politics that most people would like to forget.

Americans are ready for a woman President. But she is not anywhere to be seen as yet. When she arrives we will know it. But Hillary ain’t her.

Authentic broom. Authentic cauldron. Authentic contract with the devil signed in blood.

A: Because women are much better at spotting phonies and disengenuous people than men are.

They're also much better at putting those feelings on a shelf, or otherwise being in denial over them, for a precious window of time.

[nicmarlo]

More women feeling skeptical about Clinton's authenticity.

What was their first clue? fofl!

[TheSpottedOwl]

Authenticity? What the hell is that?

I got Hillary’s number when she made that nasty remark about staying home and baking cookies.

[SuziQ]

All of which runs contrary to the accepted narrative of this election cycle, which is that it is women who are leading the charge for Mrs. Clinton's candidacy.

Accepted by whom, may I ask? I don't accept anything of the sort. Maybe the members of the MSM are spouting that bit of tripe, and are HOPING women will believe it.

[Ax]

We know a lady, a Wellesley graduate, who is involved with "Wellesley Women Against Hillary," or something like that. Some of these ladies REALLY loathe Hillary.

One day, a few years ago, as this lady was leaving our house, I stood on the porch and made some comment about my friend moving to New York so she could vote for Hillary. She turned and yelled at me "don't mention that c****s name in my presence!"

[TheSpottedOwl]

I think the main reason is, she reminds every woman of her mother-in-law*, and every man of his ex-wife.

Hahahaha! Actually I have much more respect towards my ex mother in law(God rest her soul), than I ever will of Hillary, that waste of "plumbing".

[Saundra Duffy]

Oh, don’t you know, women are going for Fred T in droves because he’s cute and his ex girlfriends are supporting him, not to mention his ex wife. Didn’t you silly people read the article about how the women’s vote will go to Fred T? Sillies.

Women are better at spotting disengenuous - calculating WOMEN than men are. As a woman I believe that.
