In regard to Hillary, do you think sexism played a part in her demise?

Question

Are people more tolerant with sexism than racism in relation to your own personal experiences?

Answer 1

Are we crying over spilled milk? Move on.

Answer 2

Her arrogance and sense of entitlement did much more to derail her campaign than anyone else.  She has no one to blame but herself and Bill

Answer 3

Sexism was not part of her demise.  Never forget it was the "blue collar white male democrats" that were voting for her.  The problem with Hillary was just being Hillary.  The only reason many people voted for her was because of her husband Bill.  The second reason is that there are a lot of "bitter" women here in America.  Who feel that it would be "sticking it" to the man by voting for a woman.  They overlooked the fact that Hillary and her husband lied about the Whitewater scandal.  She abandoned her fight for healthcare and acquired kickbacks from private healthcare companies.  She voted for the war in Iraq.  Finally, she had no agenda other than her "supposedly healthcare".  How can we give healthcare to "everyone" when we cannot even secure their legal status as U.S. citizens.  Hillary was also pushing the amnesty agenda as well.

Not to mention she started running  a "nasty" campaign.  Not to mention there are a lot of people both Democrat and Republicans who absolutely DO NOT LIKE THE CLINTONS.  So why not choose Obama.  There was not much difference between the two anyways. At least he is not going through menopause.

Answer 4

No, the mesiah did....

Answer 5

Absolutely!!  The MSM worked very hard for months to discredit her.  They reported negatives opinions about her, as fact.  They even embellished them.  Our country is run by men.  They will not allow a strong, intelligent, educated woman to play in their sandbox.  They lobbied hard behind the scenes to knock her out of the race.  How sad considering how much more qualified she is than her opponent.

Baracka out spent her 3 to 1 and it was still a close race.  Without the interference from the MSM and the DNC Clinton would have won in a landslide.

Answer 6

Why  why why If it does not go your way it's sexism,racism Why it is soooo tiresome

It's become an obsession with some of you

We all know you are not a racist you hate racism and sexism You well never tolerate it You are a good person and caring person You well fight O K now print it out and pin it to your shirt

Answer 7

Absolutely....man are afraid of powerful, intelligent. well educated, and strong willed women.

Answer 8

Yes, it certainly played a part, but it was not the only factor.  I cannot compare the two, but in general, I think people have become a LOT more tolerant.  Still, it will be interesting to see what happens when they get all alone in the privacy of the voting booth.

Much as I was excited about Hillary's campaign, I am not blind to her weaknesses and soft spots, so for the nomination to be going to Barack is OK with me.

It's important that she not stand for ALL women, and that he not stand for ALL black or mixed-race people.  Rather, to me this is just a breakthrough time when people who would have had no chance to run earlier finally can realistically do so, with all their flaws.  So Clinton-haters can be down on her for that reason and not for sexism, even while some sexists reject her for the old-fashioned reason.  And so forth.  And McCain has feet of clay, too, and no reasonable VP candidate waiting in the wings.

But as a 63-year-old woman, I am here to tell you that Hillary Clinton encountered a LOT of sexism on the trail.

Answer 9

Whiners shut up; it was her backstabbing and constant attacks that took her out of the race. If she were really "intelligent" for one, she wouldn't be a Democrat, and two, she wouldn't have gone into campaign debt.
