Trump. We're not talking Hillary verse Romney or even Bush. We're talking about Trump, a man few people would even let near their daughters, a deplorable disgusting man. And that's not even touching on how comically unqualified he is.

Systemic, inherent sexism exists in our society, some of it overt (go look at a trump rally), some of it subconscious. The extreme double standard Hillary has had to deal with from day 1 is part of that. She needs to prove FAR FAR FAR more than any white man that she deserves this, that a woman can be president. I think you're crazy if you don't think a decent number of people think Trump is disgusting, but also don't like the idea of a woman president.

I think it's silly to assume this isn't effecting a solid 5-10% of the vote in this election of her verse trump.
