Why is that woman even still in the race?
How clueless and selfish do you have to be to support that kind of character? Do you excuse all that because of a gender? How sexist. Women are just as responsible for stupid remarks as a man. If Sanders or O'Malley had said something equally offensive, we would have tarred and feathered them (figuratively speaking). They'd definitely be out of consideration for the presidency.
How is it that two ovaries are suddenly an excuse? We have plenty of qualified female politicians in the Democratic party, plenty of x-chromosomes-endowed candidates to make a bid for the white house. But this particular one is horrible. She behaves offensively and callously. She is despicable, she is the incarnation of everything wrong with the status quo.
F*CK the status quo. We deserve better.
