Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: The More Discrimination a Woman Has Faced the More Likely She Supports Hillary (HRC GROUP) [View all]athena
(4,187 posts)26. Seriously?
Bernie has done more to fight for women's issues than Hillary?
Please give some examples. List what he has done. Please explain how he beats this:
Why Hillary Clinton Has the Best Track Record on Womens Issues
Globally, no candidate has done more for womens rights than Secretary Clinton. In her time as Secretary of State, she appointed the first-ever Ambassador-at-Large for Global Womens Issues at the State Department; oversaw the creation of the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security; and introduced the Global Health Initiative (GHI), investing $63 billion to help partner countries provide robust maternal and infant health services. Secretary Clinton has worked tirelessly to elevate womens rights as the key towards economic prosperity and global stability. Her public and private initiatives have appropriated millions of dollars towards providing secondary education to young girls around the world, and tackling the obstacles that face at-risk youths.
And while you're at it, please explain exactly why Bernie has zero women among his ten highest-paid campaign staffers, when Hillary has six among hers. How is that fighting for women? Why should we, women, trust Bernie to fight for us when he can't even trust us enough to employ us at the top levels of his campaign?

I'm not sure you understand the concept of demographics and the point of collecting data.

That's how you interpret demographic data? HRC is dominating the polls among African Americans ...

So you think that particular reason is the only reason women are voting for Hillary?
