You may think she is not a good woman candidate but a majority or 65,844,610 million Americans did vote for a women candidate. The one that won received 62,979,636 million votes.
Hillary did not get a majority of the votes cast, she got a plurality.
Votes wise, Trump + Others > Hillary.
Hillary................................48.2 % of the votes cast.
Trump + Others..................51.8 % of the votes cast.
Re POTUS, women candidates didn't get a majority of the votes cast either:
The total re female 'write-in candidates' (Colorado alone had 22 candidates who got 235 or more votes) didn't add another '0.73 % + 1' to the Hillary + Jill Stein total, or even 0.681 %.

I don't know. I don't care enough to look it up. I think we all know H Clinton won the coasts. Like the other poster said, she should have tried a lot harder with the working classes in the Midwest. Trump may may not give 2 ****es about them but he played into their fears and it worked for him.
He didn't "play to their fears".
What baloney.
Trump stated what is obvious to people in "flyover country":
Our infrastructure is crumbling. Jobs have left and we need a new approach. And if that approach includes education, Common Core isn't the answer. We don't want to see cops and vets disrepected. Get the government out of healthcare. Fix immigration. If you are a Member of Congress, do what we sent you to do and stop making empty promises. Stop the corruption! We welcome working with other countries, but we need to get our own house in order first.
Gay marriage, trans rights, abortion...water under the bridge now.
These things are so obvious to millions upon millions of us, none of which has to do with "fear", but has everything to do with common sense.

Yes, infrastructure is crumbling and needs to be upgraded. The jobs that maintained middle class lifestyles in the Midwest are gone and they are not coming back. Educating these people would be great. Start with technology training. GED for those that never finished High School, etc... Trump campaigned on fear and hatred with a few little snippets how he was going to help them. He's not and the sooner they realize that the better off they will be unless running on hope is the only thing left. Very sad problem. The coasts help by subsidizing these areas with our taxes but it is not enough. I don't have any easy answers b/c there aren't any.
She's right, to an extent. Just view C-D for a few minutes, and there are tons of people who would never vote for her because she's a woman.
I'll vote for a woman if she vows to end demographic changing immigration and stop handing out citizenship like candy. Also she can't play the woman card. I don't know of any vowing that.

Well she didn't get 270 electoral votes, which is why she is not president.
She has a valid point. Until Obama, only white men have been President.
And what is your point?

Again... what is your point as it relates to this thread?

I'm not the ridiculous one, here. Many liberal women (and men) admitted they would vote for Hillary BECAUSE she was a woman. The "first woman president" was what was important to them. Not policy.

Sarah Palin? What the heck are you talking about? Who said anything about Sarah Palin?
I'm a woman, and I know how many of us can be. Which is, overreact, over dramatic, poor decision making drama queens. Just look at some of the women in power right now, like Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Elizabeth Warren. Complete whack jobs.
Compared to the men you mean?
Come on now...
I know how we can be too. And I see things differently than you. Some women just like some men are wack jobs. But most are not.
Hillary is wacky, Trump is wacky.
As a matter of fact....I think politicians are wacky more or less.
