Hillary 2016 was the biggest trainwreck in electoral history, and that includes Scott 1852, McLellan 1864, Cox 1920, Goldwater 1964, and McGovern 1972. She only won the popular vote because Trump liked making offensive remarks all the time.

BTW, in real life, people hated Hillary due to the email scandal.

Anyone who denies that sexism played any role at all, even a very small one, in Clinton's loss is deluding themselves. The narratives that exist about Hillary Clinton wouldn't exist to the same extent for Hank Clinton. Republicans would have disliked Hank Clinton, since he would still have a (D) next to his name, but we probably wouldn't hear cries of "lock him up!" or "Trump that... asshole?" Perhaps a majority of Donald Trump voters would vote for Donna Trump in a general election, but that just means that partisan loyalty is an even stronger force than sexism. Donna Trump wouldn't have made it anywhere in a Republican primary, though, since many people would be saying, "God, she's an abrasive, b*tchy, bossy, shrill, whiny little c***."

-Hillary's being a woman was literally Her only widely agreed-upon asset as a candidate in public opinion polls. Enough with the revisionist BS. I'm nearly certain she would have lost the popular vote had she been a man.

We would very much hear cries of "lock him up". Hank Clinton would look like even more a scoundrel than HRC with that email server matter (the most covered story of the campaign).

Donald Trump would easily have won had he been a woman. He would almost certainly have won the popular vote, as well.

Was sexism responsible for Obama's '08 primary victory, as well?

Sexism did not play any role at all in Clinton's loss. Corporate feminist BS played a huge role in Her popular vote win. Remember, a majority of voters are women.

Do people hate Mike Pence?

-That scandal has not been covered anywhere near to the HRC one's levels. He also comes off as more likeable in his personality (Reaganish). I don't like him.

Still not sure what is so threatening about admitting that some sexism exists, but of course all these responses are to be expected. Roll Eyes

-Nobody here is denying some sexism exists. People are just pointing out it had zero impact on the election result, and was more than canceled out by people only voting for Hillary because "muh first woman prez".
