http://bluenationreview.com/only-a-female-front-runner-would-be-told-to-drop-out/Hillary Clinton is winning. She is the front runner. She has a commanding lead in pledged delegates, in superdelegates, in votes. Bernie Sanders path to the nomination is virtually nonexistent, contingent upon an exceedingly unlikely scenario in which Hillary does not reach the requisite number of pledged delegates before the convention and a majority of superdelegates inexplicably abandon a thoroughly vetted and extremely qualified front runner.
Barring some extraordinary set of circumstances, Hillary will be the Democratic nominee.
No other front runner with such a clear path to the nomination would be subjected to this sort of belittling suggestion to drop out.
Even Trump, a wildly unpopular candidate with his own party leaders, has not been publicly admonished to drop out. The Never Trump campaign doesnt presume to tell him that he should drop out.
This dynamic will surely be familiar to a lot of women. It is familiar to me. An eminently qualified woman being told to step aside to make room for a less qualified man? Been there, heard that.
Im going to bet that Im not the only woman who has a problem with people telling a woman whos winning, and has the best shot to be the first female president, to drop out to make way for a male candidate who is losing and who has nowhere near her level of experience, competency, and preparedness.
Its not clear whence started this hashtag, but whether it was Sanders supporters or Republican opponents, the message is the same: A woman who is positioned to win should curb her ambition and go home.
This is intolerable. And I have a competing message for them: #KeepWinningHillary.

(15,696 posts)And while I'm ticked off about this "Surrender, Hillary" nonsense, I'm sick of reading how Hillary has to convince BS supporters to vote for her. As if Donald Trump picking a Supreme Court Justice isn't reason enough to vote for the party's nominee. It's timeto grow up and act like they care about the future of the country.
