    Clinton stood no chance against Trump because of the large number of women voters that were never going to vote for her; not because of who she was in 2015 but because of her staying with Bill after he cheated on her.

    Even the same ardent feminists that you would assume want to see a woman president more than anything still had little interest in her, in particular, being the first woman president. Too many women see her as a woman that stayed married to jackass just because of what it afforded her politically, financially, ect. Plus, they especially did not like the expectation placed on them to vote for her solely based on gender considering they viewed her as a traitor to women more broadly.

    It says a lot about how hated she is by other women that a huge contingent of them voted for a serial sexual assailant rather than her

        She stood no chance of winning over enough women in red states to win the election, even though that was obviously part of the political calculus (or lack thereof) in pushing her as the candidate

      I swear, liberals will latch on to anything to avoid admitting their candidates’ actual faults and recognizing reality.
