HRC did not make the campaign "almost exclusively" about her being a woman. You don't seem to have been paying attention.

Well, I think the people who let their side used sexist terms is what is offensive and divisive. BobbyDrake Dec 2016 #69

Insane. MelissaB Dec 2016 #77

Because that always works right? ismnotwasm Dec 2016 #86

Can't see what ya don't look at, I keep saying it... easier to blame than to try to understand. JudyM Dec 2016 #34

"Many" would be right wingers, like the poutrage over Benghazi and emails. nt SunSeeker Dec 2016 #148

I guess you're counting Bernie as one of those 'Right Wingers' NRQ891 Dec 2016 #149

Bernie is not a Dem. His bullshit personal attacks on Hillary were gleefully picked up by Trump. SunSeeker Dec 2016 #150

but you said the 'many' are 'right wingers, you didn't say 'not Dem' nt NRQ891 Dec 2016 #151

Yes, many are right wingers. That is an accurate statement. nt SunSeeker Dec 2016 #152

Pure supposition. Just because people dislike a candidate doesn't mean it's because of gender. JudyM Dec 2016 #36

It is fact. Sorry. n/t duffyduff Dec 2016 #64

There may have been legitimate concerns, and gender had nothing to do with it. Ardent feminists JudyM Dec 2016 #70
