Hillary Clinton: People say, 'I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman'
Yahoo News ^ | May 31, 2016 | Dylan Stableford

The former secretary of state and Democratic frontrunner says she still encounters sexism on the campaign trail — even on the rope line.

Hillary Clinton says while sexism on the campaign trail is not as severe as it was in 2008 when she first ran for president, it still lingers - even in her encounters with would-be supporters.

She also said that men fear ambitious women like her. "I think it's the competition," Clinton said. "Like, if you do this, there won't be room for some of us, and that’s not fair."

I thought her advisers said she was not going to play the woman card any longer, because it wasn’t working for her.

She is a corrupt woman.

I really think Hillary is missing some obvious advantages in her campaign.

She ought to show more skin and dress more sexy.

“I really like you?”

Well, “I really don’t!” Actually, I’d replace “like” with “hate” in my case.

No, her words are classic Clintonista tactics. A Clinton accuses an accuser of exactly what they choose to. In doing so they insulate, establish a false fact, which then is explained as widely accepted, and can never be questioned again without making the questioner look stupid or crazy by a willing media conglomerate and insiders.

They play an old tired game if you learn to recognize it.

Maybe she could stop leaving their dead corpses everywhere she goes. That would help her likability factor.

No...it is the exact opposite.

I wouldn’t mind voting for a woman, as long as it wasn’t HER.

Hillary, I believe you’re lying. You’re trying to play victim again. You’ve already worn this card out.

“She ought to show more skin and dress more sexy.”

Yeah, she could get the “Joe the Plumber” vote with a little more butt cleavage!
That “Government Mule look,” is a real eye catcher!

There are, have been, and will be many women I would have voted for. Hillary is not one of them.

The only position I’d consider voting for her for would be prison librarian.

She should have been in jail after her Legal Services Corporation embezzlement.

No, the harridan is not that stupid. She is trying desperately to find a method to get her supporters back in line, despite the greater recognition of the baggage that she brings to the table.

This all depends on the Left being able to reinforce "political correct" insanity, which gives both Leftists & intimidated nerds a controlling guilt complex about not being "egalitarian" enough. This means Hillary thinks that if she goes all in, those who seek thought control over Americans, will somehow be able to stop the wave of Trump support, which, God Willing, will permanently free America from the thought Police.

The fat is in the fire, folks. The future really is at stake.

She is talking about Democrats. Who won’t vote for a woman.

Just like she is running to save a country ravaged by 8 years of Democrat rule.

Old carpet munchers go more for the lumberjack Mao look. They like their little nip perked young gal pals to be the catcher.

Hillary is well past the lumberjack Mao look. She has gone straight to the Hill the Hun look.

Torn down under pressure, revived via archive.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States Federal Law passed in 1970 that was designed to provide a tool for law enforcement agencies to fight organized crime. RICO allows prosecution and punishment for alleged racketeering activity that has been executed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. Activity considered to be racketeering may include bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, embezzlement, illegal gambling, kidnapping, murder, drug trafficking, slavery, and a host of other nefarious business practices.

It’s not even about voting for a woman! If Margaret Thatcher were running, I’d vote for her. Hillary, over my dead body!
