I'm sorry, Hillary lost because we're all male chauvinist pigs

Hillary Clinton's defeat has shown the glass ceiling is intact

It breaks my heart to write these words. Partly because like so many other women — and men too — I had wholly expected that I would jubilantly be writing the opposite, heralding the triumphant end to the biggest political story for women of my generation: “Yes, she could!” And the beginning to an enthralling new chapter in equality.

I thought that I would be congratulating America on its historic achievement of electing the first woman in its history to be president.

But no, they couldn't. And so I can't. And it feels just awful. The emails I've gotten from so many women mirror my own feelings: “heartbroken”, “devastated” “shocked” and “can't believe it.” One was from a friend who sent me her “pantsuit selfie” yesterday in giddy anticipation of a Clinton victory. Another said sadly “at least they can't abuse her anymore.”

And so the triggering begins...

After all Hillary didn't lose because
- she pissed off liberals by being for war, torture, the war on drugs, domestic-spying, and the USA PATRIOT Act while being against marriage equality and calling blacks super-predators
- she pissed off the middle class by being for outsourcing, NAFTA, and the TPP while being against Elizabeth Warren's banking and finance reforms
- she pissed off environmentalists by being for the Keystone XL oil pipeline and against environmental regulations
- she pissed off Bernie Sanders supporters with unethical election hijinks that resulted in the DNC chair resigning in disgrace
- she pissed off the undecided with her various scandals and FBI trouble

No, she lost because she's a woman and the only issue on everyone's mind was her cliterous.

If dumb ass leftists like the buffoon who wrote the above article are successful in misinforming the public, then Trump will be a two-term president. Wake up lefties. Trump won because you backed an establishment candidate in an anti-establishment race. Learn from your mistakes or repeat them.

No. She lost because she is more establishment politician and republican than she is progressive liberal. The DNC is learning a lesson in what there younger more diverse constituency really wants.

Yes. That. (virtual high five)

I was admiring her poise in the concession speech. She was saying all the right things... Then, it started... The suggestion that the reason she lost... That she lost because she's a woman. What a bunch of bullshit. Is she delusional or trying to create an issue where one doesn't really exist? She lost because she's corrupt and has a long history of "smoke" worthy of various "investigations."

There are several women on both sides of the aisle who would have mopped the floor with Trump. To name two: Condoleezza Rice and Elizabeth Warren... these are women who would have eaten Trump's lunch.

Hillary didn't lose because she is a woman. She lost because she's corrupt and everyone knows it.

There is no denying a pretty big gender gap in the vote though. Yes, I don't think that is the singular cause for her loss at all. Camp Hillary and the DNC ran a really bad campaign. The amount of money they spent, my god.

Still no idea to this day what her message really was.

Q: What are you going to do for America?
A: "I'm with her", "I'm not Trump"
Q: Sorry, was that your answer?
A: "I've spent my life as a public servant."
Q: Great, so what are you going to do?
A: "We have to get out the vote ... wooooooo!"

Na na na nah ... the typical wisdom says a divisive campaign should drive out votes. This campaign was so gross, it actually switched people off, on both sides. The absence of the "Voting Rights Act" may also be a factor here. Time will tell. The truth is she is no more corrupt than Trump ... as we will easily find out now. I'll give it one major pissing match with Putin before we magically see whats in Trump's kimono on the internet ... *barf* ... bad analogy.
