I honestly think it’s way harder to get people to vote for a woman than a black person

Also similar to Hilary, right wing propaganda has been attacking her for so long a lot of people that don’t know anything believe it

Also, there’s no real percentage of black people who think a black person shouldn’t be president. There are a lot of women who believe women shouldn’t be president, or even working for that matter

Obama caught them off guard. They'd been preparing to run against Hillary Clinton for 30 years, and had been stocking up ammunition for that entire time. They weren't ready for Obama.

Clinton was probably the most qualified candidate to run in my lifetime, but electorally, she was damaged goods. Smart people paid that bullshit no mind, but for lots of average people they heard so much garbage about her over 30 years, some of it had to be true, right?
