Re: What happened with the Clinton campaign (2.00 / 1)

Of course there was sexism.

The point is that staffers in the Clinton campaign, when asked what went wrong don't mention sexism. They have plenty of other reasons for her inability to win the nomination.

Those were points selected by the author Michelle Cottle.  It is by no means the complete truth of the matter.

So you have evidence that the campaign thinks sexism played a role?

Re: What happened with the Clinton campaign (none / 0)

Were sexism so big a factor in Clinton's defeat, would it have not loomed equally large before the contests began, depriving her of her role as frontrunner and presumptive nominee?

One would assume. What's interesting is that if I asked this same person if racism were responsible for particular Obama defeats and problems with certain demographics I'd almost be certainly told no.

Re: What happened with the Clinton campaign (none / 0)

i dont disagree with you that the campaign made some grave errors, and do not necessarily agree that this is over. but i have a question - why do you constantly try and deny that sexism played a role here?  the campaign would NEVER admit it, just like BO would NEVER admit that racism played a part in his campaign - it would politically uncouth to do so.
