19. One meme about Hillary
Sat Jul 11, 2015, 12:43 PM
Jul 2015

that I think is utterly wrong is that women will cross over to vote for her in huge numbers because there is such a vast yearning for a female President. Any Democratic woman who honestly believes that needs to think long and hard. Would she cross over to vote for Sarah Palin or Michele Bachman were either of them at the Republican ticket? Anyone who would answer yes, the gender would absolutely trump political party or anything about the candidates personal qualities, isn't putting the kind of thought into her vote that she should be putting.

There is a lot of very strong dislike for Hillary out there. Some of it is totally stupid, but it's out there. If she becomes the nominee the election will be far closer than we'd like, although if someone like Trump decides to mount a third party campaign, then she (or whoever the Democratic nominee is) would win quite easily.
