Do you think Hillary Clinton can win based off being a female as she suggested recently?

2015-03-06T08:31:45-05:00

In a recent gig she stated: the comment to the question I am asking.

Could there be enough support under a philosophy like this?

Perhaps, it worked for the current occupant of the White House.
I think a lot of people would be excited to get a chance at seeing history made.
Hopefully, they check out her record first, and don't vote for her simply because she is female.

I don't think that there is any question that a great many people will vote for her simply because she is a female.

We now have a president who garnered a great many votes based strictly on his race, certainly not because of his qualifications. And how has that worked out for our country?

I would hope that the electorate would learn form past mistakes, however, that is a fantasy.

I hope to God women are smart enough to vote for a candidate based on policy instead of sex. Unlike all the people that voted for Obama because of the color of his skin. Yet conservatives are racists. That's like telling a cop he's a drug addict as you snort a line of cocaine in front of him. I love this country, but I hope we can get the majority of these idiots out. We don't need anymore Republicans or Democrats.

I am really afraid that the electorate of today is more concerned with making history and voting with their feelings rather than their brain. Most of the female's & males that I have discussed this with in the Civilian population have said they would vote for her, because she can do no worse than a man. When asked about her knowledge and strengths as a politician, their comments are, well, she was the first lady and she was Secretary of State and she did a good job! When questioned on all the things that happened under her watch, they don't have a clue. SO, I am concerned we will be stuck in the same boat without and oar as we are now, due to feelings rather than smarts! And as for the college level voters, well, they don't even have a clue! They are lemmings!

No. Too much baggage. Benghazi will not go away, the American population will insure that. And the private mail server at her home? Do YOU believe her when she says she never sent any classified mail through that server while Secretary of State. I sure don't. But the cherry on the Sundae is when she asked coyly, "Don't you want a woman president?" I might, I'd vote for Condi Rice in a heartbeat. But not Hillary. There is proof that she and her husband Bill had 33 people killed. Vince Foster was supposed to have committed suicide? Look THAT up!

It seems like she's going to win by exploiting as much as she can, including being a female. She is also exploiting her grandchild. She may not win all Democrats; but she definitely has bleeding heart Liberals locked in. I say that because I think there's many Dems that have had more than enough scandal at this point. I just don't think there will be nearly as much excitement for the Clinton name as much as there was over 6 years ago; and that's something she was counting on for 2008. If we have enough people in our country would would vote and actually put her in office with all the scandal and questions of her trustworthiness, we're in serious trouble because that's a testament of how many people who are not paying attention.

I can't stomach the woman or her lying husband. We don't need more of what we've had, we need to be fixed. Our country is broken. Rampant racism, trigger happy police, riots that remind me of the 60's, no respect from this generation for anything. Our core values are long gone.

She hasn't announced yet that she's a candidate. Everyone knows she is. Besides her getting elected, I don't want Bill Clinton as our first man. All I've heard is she keeps asking women "don't you want to see a female President". If that's her reason for running, to prove something, she's as big an idiot as she ever has been. Can you see Bill handling our foreign policies? He's more popular now than when he served because of that silver tongue of his. I think he would screw up our foreign policies and our allies by telling them something we can do, knowing we can't do it. I think our credibility would become worse than it is now. If you listen to all candidates, all I hear is what they plan or want to do, but I don't hear any solid plans. She doesn't have hardly any credibility. She hasn't a clue about military operations, or the military in general, just like Obama. Our VA's need a good overhaul. She won't know what to do, and could probably care less. I don't see anything concerning the military as high on her list of priorities. We're in real trouble. We need someone who can get us out of trouble. I don't know who that is, but that's what we need.

They don't.

Now, I know some who will vote for Hilary because she's a female, but some will cross party lines and vote Republican.

Well I have no problem with an intelligent woman like Margaret Thatcher for president; however with Hillary Clinton's record it would strongly suggest to me that the democrats have excelled again at rigging the elections.... not that the republicans deserve to win. as congressional records indicate both parties are leaning socialist. The democratic party wants us socialist yesterday via liberalism and the republicans are easing it into us slowly. Both parties have failed to preserve and protect the US Constitution and have made laws taking away many of our individual freedoms and pursuit of happiness. Just check the internet on unconstitutional laws passed. Vote independent, Thomas Jefferson said to purge the government every twenty years... hadn't been purged yet.

Although she did state that, that one question was highlighted in that report .But it was part of a broader statement to Dems and at or near the end of a outlook on things she would like to do or tackle if elected and as a raking point and smiling said "well wouldn't you want to see a women president "?
And it got the crowd appluading.
My point is that her saying that was not her reason to run.

No! No way.... Even with the "uneducated, under informed" voting bloc this can't happen. Yes the Clinton machine is powerful and her PAC is more than well funded with voluminous (and questionable) contributions from foreign organizations she has too much baggage to even run, let alone win. C'mon, from Benghazi to the most recent "mail-gate" scandal she is not to be trusted.
Picture this: Bill & Hillary in the WH for 4 years. Last time they cleared out all of the china and silverware as they left, they could repeat that lovely trick.
Name ONE accomplishment she had a Secretary of State. Just one!
A female president emotional plea seems child-like. Is that her entire platform?
I want her in jail, tried, convicted and sentenced for her crimes. Sic Trey Gowdy on her and she will end up under the jail.
I will be carrying my soapbox from corner to corner with my Stop Hillary message. If she is elected it is as much of a travesty as Obama being elected. Twice.....

Well, I had to think about this a long while. I served under her old man slick Willie. I'm sorry he was a disgusting piece of crap. I remember him as a impeached and disbarred member of his profession. I remember him for attacking the wrong country, or the wrong people. He attacked Christians instead of Muslims. She went along with it the full way.
Every time this lady's pie hole opens lies spew out. She hates soldiers, veterans and anything associated with the military. If you read Saul Lewinsky, your her hero.
With all that said, yes she has a chance to win, and it has nothing to do with her being a female. It has to do with people being like me when I was a young 2230-year-old male or female. We didn't read the newspaper or keep up on current affairs unless we're going to the board. So I can't fault the young ins. All's I could try and do is show then the error of my ways. When you ask these young ins what is Hillary's accomplishments? They can't name any. However, they will go off to the polls and vote for because mom-and-pop voted Democrat.
But then again there is some hope. People are starting to wake up finally. People are starting to see that we are getting lied to. I'm not saying Bush didn't lie to us, because it was lies that came out of there. But since 2008 it has been lie after lie after lie. But with Hillary it'll be an hour after hour after hour lie.
Ever since the Republicans have kicked out the conservatives in their party I think the conservatives are starting to fight back and were starting to see some good candidates like Cruz Rubio Carson. I would really like to see good candidates like Allen West. If push runs or Christie runs..... I'll just go outside my house and choke myself
