The fact that she won the popular vote but lost the election proves my point. All the places she marginally lost in would very likely have swung to marginally won if she wasn't a woman. The hate we see rampant today was rampant then too, it just hadn't been given a voice or a face yet.
That's how the Republicans won that election, they realized there was just enough hate in just the right places to swing it in their favor. They just had to fan the flames.
No, it really doesn't.
Hillary just ignoring the Rust Belt during her campaign had nothing to do with it. Totally.
The lesson here isn't that there's too much hate in America. It's that the Democrats really need to stop rigging primaries for weak candidates. Their focus needs to be on the economy and the poor, not propping up people's egos.
I never said she was a great candidate, just that if she had been the same candidate, but male, those margins would have swung her way. Yes, even given the exact same campaign and mistakes.
No. Absolutely not. That they had to rig a primary for her to even get the nomination in the first place demonstrates that your reasoning is incorrect.
