“Some have said your votes didn’t matter, that this campaign was over…” the New York senator said over and over on the campaign trail in Kentucky in the days before the primary there on Tuesday.
If you talk to voters at her rallies, you will find women who resent what they view as Clinton being pushed out of the presidential race. A Clinton support group formed last week and has run full-page ads in newspapers stating, “Not so Fast.”
Many female Clinton supporters are suddenly galvanized and are angry at what they call blatant sexism in this presidential race.
IMO, she is not being pushed out of a race she cannot win without help from Party insiders. So that argument is just damn silly. A victim of sexism? By whom? Obama? I have not seen anything that would appear to be so. If we are talking about that sign in early January held by one who opposed her, saying “Iron my shirts”…then I will concede that it was a sexist sign, but so far I have not seen the blatant sexism that some are saying is being committed toward Clinton.
Bill Clinton Sunday defended U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, saying he’s “never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running.”
Speaking at a campaign rally in Fort Thompson, S.D., the former president said there has been a “frantic effort to push” his wife out of the race for the Democratic nomination, but asserted she “will win the general election if you nominate her,” ABC News reported.
“They’re just trying to make sure you don’t.” he said.
“And I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running.”
Granted I am a male and may not be as sensitive to misogyny as a female, but I do not think that it applies to the campaign run by Obama. And Bill’s accusation is just unwarranted, the MSM has done more to keep her in the race than Bill himself. It is more of an excuse for her lose to an upstart that most people ignored in the beginning. She lost her inevitability and now they are trying desperately trying to explain he lose.
