Hillary Clinton Blames Sexism for 2016 Loss: Donald Trump Won Because He Is A Man

Olivia Rondeau
25 May 2024

Hillary Clinton blamed the fact that female voters abandoned her as her 2016 presidential campaign came to a close on her not being “perfect” in a recent interview.

“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me because, as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect,” the former secretary of state told the New York Times in an interview conducted in February and published Saturday.

She went on to argue that female voters took a “risk” on former President Donald Trump because he is a man.

“They were willing to take a risk on [Trump] — who had a long list of, let’s call them flaws, to illustrate his imperfection — because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander-in-chief.”

The former first lady also criticized fellow Democrats for not cementing abortion rights before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

“We didn’t take it seriously, and we didn’t understand the threat,” Clinton said. “Most Democrats, most Americans, did not realize we are in an existential struggle for the future of this country.”

“We could have done more to fight,” she added, likening the struggle for abortion access to women’s rights.

“Authoritarians, whether they be political or religious based, always go after women. It’s just written in the history, and that’s what will happen in this country.”

Still after all these years she just can't accept the fact that she lost.  The all powerful, all famous, incredible woman on earth, Hillary Clinton lost!  :silly:

Her political career ended that dreadful moment when she had to concede to Donald J. Trump.

So her loss had nothing to do with the fact that she didn't campaign in states like Michigan and Wisconsin?
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

 I'm sure the fact that she was, and is, an unlikable harpie had nothing to do with her loss.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

There's a lot of butt to be hurt. So sad.

Dear HilLIARy,

It was your policies, stupid. And your inner ugliness, such as when you wrote off 1/4 of US voters as "Deplorables".
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Don't confirm her delusions.  Calling her a harpie "proves" it was sexism.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Is she saying that Michelle Obama would have won?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
