I'm looking forward to the change. Instead of being called a racist for opposing the president's policy, I'll be called a misogynist

I see a problem with the first First Man. Bill appears to be an able-bodied, heterosexual, older white male If I criticize him, what negative label do we use ?

Both my parents have declared that they as re voting Trump because he is a man. When I asked them about policy, they said they agree with Clinton on every issue and disagree with Trump on every issue. But they are traditional asians, so they believe a woman is not capable of being president.

The good news is they live in a deep blue county inside a deep blue state.

The ones who think like this^(meaning the ones who don't care that Hillary is corrupt) don't care. All they care about is that she's a woman who has a "D" next to her name.

If it were someone like Lucretia Borgia, Lizzie Borden or Aileen Wurnos and there was a "D" next to her name, they would vote for her.

Scary isn't it?

That said, I believe the OP was being sarcastic.

I have no doubt there are thousands, maybe millions of people who feel the same as the OP. (sarcasm or no)


Regardless of who you vote for, it should not be based on their gender, race, color of their hair, what size shoe they wear.


IMO there are far too many uninformed voters who want to "be on the winning side" rather than make a stand for a decision they believe in. When did the election of a President become a popularity contest?

Seriously? What perfection are you seeking when after 227 years, we have only had male presidents? I have not seen one Trump supporter say Trump is perfect. Every single time they say they are supporting Trump, they have to rationalize a hundred things along with it. There is no perfect candidate and after 227 years, I'm shocked at anyone that actually implies voting for a woman is a bad thing.

Would men tolerate only female presidents for the last 227 years? Not a chance. They would be carrying torches in the streets if we had gone 100 years with female presidents. After 200 years it would have been total war.

There are more women than men in this country. Why are women so weak as to hope they get another chance when they are due 43 female presidents? When did women become so pitiful that they reassure the men around them that even though there has never been one woman president, they still don't care about gender? No wonder men have ruled the country for this long; they would never stand for such passive weakness.

I just get all excited thinking about all the disgruntled men mad because a woman will lead the most powerful nation on Earth!

Last the last election revealed lots of racism,this one will reveal a lot of misogyny.
Half of it is on CD.

I do not think she is a great candidate,or even honest,but hey we have something in common.

Gender!
How do you know she is a women?

Seems like about the average amount of thought that usually goes into a vote for Clinton. Typically all it literally is is just "she's a woman and people say he's a sexist rascist and bad", and the only correct statement there is that she is a woman. Anyone here voting for her based on actual preference for her policies gets at least a slight nod of respect from me.

I haven't heard anyone raving about anything about her - let alone her policies.

Good luck giving out that respect.

Oh, you poor thing. Without even knowing it, you have hit on why Trump has so much support. How can it possibly have escaped you that TRUMP ISN'T PART OF THE MESS IN DC!


Good God!

There is no question about Trump with regard to women, his track record is long and very public.
