I’m still hazy on this: should Clinton just have been given the nomination w/out competition because she is a woman? A ‘…mature, dependable, experienced woman,’ I agree, but so what? She was beaten for any number of reasons, and if p[art of that list is because some people just do not like her then so be it.

Because she is a woman has no issue for me – I just do not like her, from afar, as a candidate… Is that so bad? Am I to blame for her not being able to achieve her dreams? Am I to blame because so many women are upset because their (female) choice was not swept into the arms of the public and given a chance at history? No! It’s not my fault. I support who I want based on a myriad of reasons, and if some women want to push that aside and blame sexism, so be it. That’s sad and pathetic, but I get it.

I will just say quit complaining and whining. It’s not helping. You’re gal lost. She is ‘…mature, dependable, experienced,’ but she didn’t have the little extra. And that’s not my damn fault…
