Yeah I guess that the underlying and overwhelming reason. Can’t let a smart strong woman be in charge.

Oh FFS. It wasn’t that at all. That was the only excuse she could come up with. Or was willing to admit.

Oh I don’t know that one.

My husband who is pretty secure and has zero issue with me making twice as much as him was also somewhat swayed by the email issue. He voted for her but still had a little level of distrust.

Now you know. It's always the same poll from Morning Consult. Always. Sometimes they get the year right, sometimes not. It's always misrepresented though.

I even tried to give ron a heads up which he ignored. Which is why i said this wasn't a nice catch. I was already standing where the ball was going to land before the pitch was thrown.

As you said, Bernie's numbers have no basis outside of Vermont in this poll. He always gets a low to mid 60% approval number from Vermont voters. As usual the Bros ignore that every Senator gets the same 0-100 score. So both or neither in a state can have over or under 50% as it does not have to add up to 100%. They also ignore that there are 28 cities in this country that gave a population bigger than Vermont, with several of them having more the 10 times the total population of Vermont. So while it's wonderful that he gets 64% of polled voters in VT, it means fuck all on a larger scale.

My conclusion is that they are either stupid and fail to read past the headline or they are just lying and hope that anyone else either dues not read their cite or comes to the bad conclusion they try to set up. I don't really see a third option. Mostly I figure they are just fucking dumb.

Bit she is a great boogeywoman. If it's not her it's Pelosi. Or Warren. Or Harris. Or really any other high profile woman out there.

Never. Everything else is window dressing and cover for the misogyny.

I'd focus on the domestic right-wing smears going back a long way. The Russians picked it up and echoed it, but there was plenty going on without them.

You're an arrogant asshole.

You are wrong, in so many different ways. You're just another Berniehole who gets off on attacking Hillary-----so much so that you'd rather blame Hillary than look in the mirror. Putin got away with it once and now Trump is eager to see how much help he can get now that the Repubs have proven what spineless weasels they are.

But YOU just have to attack the designated scapegoat, because pseudo liberal dudes just itch to be sexist now and then.

No, you are not. Would somebody explain to me what liberal positions she holds? She's pro-Assad, she's in a cult, she's pro-gay conversion, Islamophobic....Where is she liberal?

She violated the UCMJ by using her uniform to campaign. We are supposed to be utterly neutral.
