A valid point, but as I said, Bill was also an albatross around her neck when it came to women. Trump pointed out how she smeared, targeted and threatened women.

True, but she would have never been a U.S. Senator without the name recognition that he gave her. She is certainly not a people person.

 

Absent Hillary's more recent criminal behavior, she would have been a shoo in against Trump, IMO. But without Bill, few people would have ever heard the name Hillary Rodham, although she might have hitched her wagon to some other more talented liberal politician's career.

So, what does that make a woman, like myself, who voted for Clinton?

 

A woman who voted for Clinton.

Yes! This election has shown that you cannot clump us together and you cannot stereotype and you cannot assume! We are a fluid, ever changing group of individuals who have the right to choose our candidate, even IF and most especially if it is not who the political parties and the media THINK we should have chosen.

And for that I commend you!

I watch the Today show every morning. I could not believe how they lumped groups together, and they thought HRC had this election wrapped up. People have been upset for a long time. I am happy rural America and other people came out and voted. Do not place anyone in clumps such as uneducated. HRC did not even place her foot in Wisconsin during the whole campaign trail. Big mistake on her part.

Smart, insightful, progressive...just for starters.

I think you may be underestimating her. Watch the PBS Frontline about her. You may dislike her, but she is more than just Bill Clinton's wife. In all honesty being Bill Clinton's wife may have slowed her like RTS said.

And women that voted for Trump?

 

Still nothing? Hmmm.

Naive, misguided.... and(to quote our President-Elect) some, I suppose, are good people.

Ive been gone all day and am extremely tired. However I have to leave at least one parting shot today on a glorious election 2016, Make America Great Again Week.

 

So everyone is asking"So, what does that make a woman, like myself, who voted for Clinton?" Well thats quite simple and I dont understand the debate on this. The answer is in this election:

 

A loser. :dancingpaNight all.

Even with her flaws, she was eminently qualified. The fact that you or many others don't like her doesn't mean she lacked the qualifications.

 

What she lacked is morality, honesty and good character.

Naive, misguided.... and(to quote our President-Elect) some, I suppose, are good people.

 

It is this type of smugness that make me happy that Liberals are unhappy right now.

Bill Clinton's name recognition is the only reason that people know who she is. Even with that advantage, she lost her first run at the presidency to a very inexperienced and unqualified candidate in Barack Obama. In her second run, she struggled with and had to cheat to win the nomination over an avowed socialist opponent, and then lost to a Republican candidate who had never run for office and had never even voted in a Republican primary until he voted for himself. And let us not forget that to win her Senate seat, she had to move from Arkansas to one of the most liberal states in the country, where her husband Bill was very popular.

 

The electoral success of Hillary Clinton was directly tied to Bill Clinton's accomplishments. She would have been lucky to have been elected to her local school board without Bill's name and support.

 

No, I don't think that I am underestimating Hillary's political skills at all.
