173. Except that ...
People HERE and places like this (I.E. "the Democratic base") DID jump all over that as sexist language.

So unless you are saying that the majority of the Democratic base is sexist (knowingly or unknowingly) and that this sexism outweighs what is certainly some racism, you central point that it is sexism that is the explanation for Hillary's aggregate loss in the nomination process so far, your point is incorrect. The Press doesn't have super powers to hypnotize the voters in general and the population that is the Democratic voter in general is NOT nearly as sexist as you imply.

Furthermore I think that your point about the Democratic base being sexist in general is just objectively false. Implying such a thing is NOT productive in the least.
