Hillary would be the horse’s rear end

You would need a Clydesdale horse for Hilliary to ride.
The Clydesdale is known for its strength and ability to pull a wagon full of beer. To ask it to carry a load of manure, is insulting to the breed.

I ride racehorses, you are not just along for the ride. A good jockey needs to rate a horse. You can’t hold back a thoroughbred without having the strength. I’m a women but not a jockey. I’ve had a few women jockeys but would never have one in a race this big.

My wife used to ride, and has a terrific eye for horses and jockeys. She will be glued to the TV all day tomorrow.

2) The jockey should not look like a horse

Horses are better looking than Hillary...she looks​ like the south end of a Northbound horse. 😀

“If young, stereotypically-masculine strength is required to compete, somehow that didn’t prevent Krone, who weighed 100 pounds “soaking wet,” from winning the Belmont. It also didn’t prevent 105-pound Bill Shoemaker from winning four Kentucky Derbies, the last at age 54. “


I guess that these “journalists” know nothing about muscle mass.

Men are men. Period.

That logic applies to the special units in the military as well. If the best of the best are selected from that 7.5-10 strength factor range, the women won’t be making the cut at all. That is reality.

Why did CNN pick 3 white writers to write an article? Why is CNN so racist?

Exactly.

But the reality is that eventually they will force SEAL/DELTA teams to accept women. They will do one of four things:

1.) Lower all physical standards so women can pass.

2.) Have two separate standards, then require operational units they are assigned to work as if there were only one standard.

3.) Simply lie to get women into those units.

4.) Any combination of the above.

In the end, operational readiness and capability is going to be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

And that means we are going to have failed missions and men (and probably women) needlessly killed (murdered by liberals pushing this) to advance the cause of their special social agendas. We are going to see burnt out American helicopters and American bodies, and we are going to experience national humiliation.

Just watch.

Makes me so angry I can barely contemplate it.
