I have been trying to get my head around Hillary not getting the votes

of the majority of her race and gender.

People say women just didn't like Hillary and/or hated her.

Now I have to ask this-Do women not like Hillary because she forgave Bill's dalliances?

I think this is a valid question to ask.

When the history of this century is written (if there are still people and writing post Trump). Fellatio is going to have a huge part in the story. Without Monica, Gore would have won. 9/11 might not have happened. The world would be a different place.

I assumed she would divorce him after his term was up, I was disappointed when she didn't. I know that you never know what's really going on in somebody's marriage, and it's none of your business - but it just sat horribly with me -as a woman.

to me. I voted for her because she's the most experienced and capable candidate that has ever been put up.

People I know who didn't didn't because they believed all the shit that has been circulated about her for years, being dishonest and corrupt. Though she is neither of those, and the brush she has been painted with is simply the evidence of how much our culture still hates women who seek power.

So, no. I don't think that's why women didn't vote for Hillary. I think they just bought the scam.

Also, let's not forget that Hillary got the votes of the majority of voters by a pretty good margin.

whatever she chose since those events was between her and Bill and not any of our business.
