Shameful sloppy reporting. Blue Idaho Sep 2016 #22
Her gender plays a part in total votes Divine Discontent Sep 2016 #2
If Hillary were a man, KMOD Sep 2016 #4
maybe... but he did beat many Republican men in the primary. It could be she's the perfect opponent Fast Walker 52 Sep 2016 #5
Any potential blowback hasn't seemed to stop Rump from chucking KMOD Sep 2016 #16
I agree. Divine Discontent Sep 2016 #10

I do, but it's complicated. Overall, I think she is held to a different standard. Fast Walker 52 Sep 2016 #6
She's held to an impossibly high, sexist double standard meow2u3 Sep 2016 #12
yeah, but a lot of it has to do with the Clinton WH years and how the right went bonkers over them Fast Walker 52 Sep 2016 #14
I definitely do. Why do some say she's not qualified? DawgHouse Sep 2016 #7
Or those who say she doesn't "look" or "sound" Presidential. KMOD Sep 2016 #17
Exactly. DawgHouse Sep 2016 #33
I think that gender bias is so ingrained in America that it can't help but affect behavior Caliman73 Sep 2016 #8
I've seen perfectly reasonable snarl or shake their heads when they see her- bettyellen Sep 2016 #13
it's really sad how tainted she has become, and really disappointing how the hard left has bought Fast Walker 52 Sep 2016 #15
It sticks in my craw that two men could get away with such a lack of transparency, hiding their bettyellen Sep 2016 #19

I think they got away with "rewriting the rules" because it wasn't another man calling them on it... bettyellen Sep 2016 #26
seems if we don't keep reminding the media 24/7, then they will forget about everything Trump has Fast Walker 52 Sep 2016 #30
exactly. KMOD Sep 2016 #18
It's surely a part of it. Buckeye_Democrat Sep 2016 #9
Of course it does. **IT ALWAYS HAS!!** baldguy Sep 2016 #11
Why do people act like this is a surprise? Joe the Revelator Sep 2016 #20
Suprised that sexism plays a role? KMOD Sep 2016 #21
It's not sexism. It's a candidate who is not good at campaigns. Joe the Revelator Sep 2016 #23
If that was the case, KMOD Sep 2016 #25
I don't really give a great deal of thought over what you were asking for... Joe the Revelator Sep 2016 #28
It's not a difficult question Joe. KMOD Sep 2016 #29
I answered it in your poll, and I answered it with my comment Joe the Revelator Sep 2016 #31
You've been plenty clear. KMOD Sep 2016 #32
You think getting almost twice the primary's Dem voters isn't "good"? LOL! bettyellen Sep 2016 #27
