    I already told you why.

    There's not a sexist bone in my body. Just like there is not a racist bone in my body, yet I still sometimes disagree with our current president.

    And to fully elaborate my position, I think she is an extreme case of lawyering in all walks of life -- everything she says can be bent to the truth, but it's still an eyebrow raiser. (The emails don't amount to much, but she is not wholly pure on that one.) All of her positions seem to be focus-grouped to death and lack Sanders' genuineness. I'm not crazy about that.

    But that doesn't make her a different politician. That makes Sanders (and Trump) a different politician.

    BYM's misogyny is as apparent and vile as Mark2010's racism, yet he's not been called on it until now (when it's aimed at a leading liberal politician).

    As long as he doesn't call her a clam or a twat, we're ahead of the game.

    Why don't some of them chime in? Even in our little SJ world, I can remember no fewer than about a dozen posters say they don't like Hillary but will "hold my nose" and vote for her anyway. All Democrats.

    I know you've seen the studies that show we are all somewhat racist. Every last person.

    I don't think it's hard to believe that inherent bias translates to gender matters as well. Shit, man, we grew up as Catholics!

    Hillary was plenty likable to old white democrats in 2008.

    The difference between then and now is that the African-American voting block went with Obam in 2008 and is with her in 2016.

    The young, white, idealistic liberals weren't with Hillary in either cycle.

    That'll come if she's elected. You know, after all of these people "hold their nose" and vote for her because she's so likable.

    Hahahaha. So so far we have because she's a "battleaxe." MC still can't find a way to describe what he dislikes about her. I'll go with smart, powerful woman until someone can articulate otherwise. The exact same behavior and political acumen in a guy would be interpreted exactly the opposite. Can some of you guys just admit that you feel threatened by strong women?

    Yeah, Lance Armstrong doing steroids overseas is the same as trashing national security. 8)

    Baron's title as dumbest poster is in jeopardy.

    If he's at 35.8%, the field would be at 64.2%. So ... no.

    And a dismal failure at at least one.

    Then again, it might be poetic justice that President Hillary has to deal with the fallout of all the fuck-ups by SoS Hillary.
