IMO, no female would have been elected, all the email, FBI, Putin were just excuses.

Trump supporters would repeal the female vote if they get a chance.

The glass ceiling will need to have an election with female candidates only to break it.

1. Considering that Republicans lie and make up all sorts of shit

it would have been hard for any Dem or any person unwilling to crawl in the pig shit with them to compete.

It will continue to be so until american voters realize they are being played for patsies, so don't hold your breath.

3. I believe it is deeper than that, I had one 60+ told me they don't

fly with female pilots either.

[WheelWalker]

2. Considering she won the popular vote by such a margin, I can't agree.

4. Exactly the opposite.

A Democratic strong economic populist woman would have won Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and probably even Florida.

Hillary Clinton carried 30 years of political baggage with her ... fairly or not, is was there. The polls showed it from the moment she announced: people didn't trust her and they didn't like her.

I strongly believe that an Elizabeth Warren or Amy Klobachar or Patty Murray with a strong message would have defeated any Republican nominee.

5. No the polls didn't show it from the moment she announced

As the media and other factors worked on the election, Clinton's poll numbers dropped. But after the convention her poll numbers bounced.

6. There's no doubt Clinton hate is strong, and has been for decades.

A different candidate with the exact same message and strategy would have won.

Clinton's campaign message was much more populist than Trump's, in spite of what the media would have us believe. And she won among those for whom the economy was the top issue. She won among the working class. If a portion of white working class voters have much different expectations or priorities than the working class as a whole, ask yourself why that might be.

Also, the notion that Trump of all people is a populist is batshit crazy. Anyone who believes that Trump is a populist isn't going to be reached by the Democratic Party.

7. So she was over qualified and Palin was under qualified, and a jerk like Perry ends

up as Sec of (Atomic) Energy.

[doc03]

8. No way she would have won if not for the two year witch hunt in Congress and on Fox news,

the Comey letter and Russian interference.

[TheFrenchRazor]

9. no doubt a lot of men went into the voting booth and could not vote for a woman for POTUS,

and sadly, a whole lot o f women probably did the same thing. but i think hillary did break some barriers, and it will be easier for the next woman.

[Sunlei]

10. Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million.other countries have female presidents so can't be that.

[Lil Missy]

11. You are about a Century behind the rest of us. n/t

[CK_John]

12. Well for having only gotten the vote in 1920 and 60% of eligible voter didn't vote, 2020 might

be the charm year.

[Coyotl]

13. Yeah, right.

Almost 66 million people seem to disagree.

[Yurovsky]

14. No, she won, her campaign team f***ed this up...

Plenty of votes, just in the wrong states. At some point we're going to have to hold Podesta & Robby Mook accountable. Or we can ignore the fact that they shit the bed and let them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again in 4 years...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. Peter theil certainly thinks we were better off before women could vote

16. Ann Coulter: Women Should Not Have The Right To Vote, But They Can Still Write Books

This is strong among hate radio and the DNC better start asking this question and design a program to fight it.

Head in the sand is not a winning position.
