In reply to the discussion: Sanders just might be the most popular politician in America [View all]still_one
(98,883 posts)That myth has been set up as a push poll, with one talking head after another spewing their sexists garbage how "Hillary doesn't smile, she seems angry, she is shrill"
This was demonstrated again after the Matt Lauer interview, where Lauer wouldn't give her a chance to answer a question, and kept interrupting her when she was trying to. The contrast between the way Lauer treated Hillary verses Trump demonstrated beyond a doubt Lauer's double standard. The talking head comments that followed that interview, weren't about her answers, instead they characterized her as "defensive, angry, and didn't smile"
They have been doing this for years against Hillary since 1993 when she introduced her healthcare proposals. It has become part of the territory, the "Hillary derangement syndrome" of the media.
No one, including Bernie has had to put up with the misrepresentations and LIES constantly hurled at her, and yet she won the primary by more than four million votes to cinch the nomination. That is a fact.
Another fact that the polls and the illustrious media gloss over is that she has wide popularity among women. Believe it or not, women are people too, and there are far more women than men, and their voices are going to be heard in November. A preview of this was demonstrated with full force against Todd Akin.
