2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Boy! I Remember Now Why I DISLIKE Hillary Clinton So Much- 'SHOUTING' [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)Because I think she was attempting to bring the attention back on to her being a woman, instead of addressing gun control, the issue Sanders was talking about to begin with.
I expect her to do more of the same for the rest of the campaign.
She did this same thing back in 2008, and I don't think she has evolved enough to just give us the acknowledgement that we are intelligent enough to know that she is a woman without her mentioning it in almost every speech.
To me, she is a bad example of a woman trying to win over skeptical men because she doesn't respect them enough to realize they are already aware of her being a woman.
We have eyes.
We can see her.
And I think that is one of her biggest weaknesses, in that she doesn't respect men enough to realize that she is a woman.
So far, I haven't seen a single man slap his forehead after hearing the news that she is a woman, and then exclaiming, "Wow, that explains a lot of things."
