43. No sexism with HRC, she ran as "our girlfriend" all her ADs= "HILLARY" ... it's her Clinton roots

that is causing the lion's share of animosity.

No, there IS plenty of misogyny in the Good Ole US of A. I experienced it, "Up close and personal" as a young Army Officer during the early 1980s. However, THIS is not about "sexism" now.

Now this is about stubborn ambition and the massive "Clintonian ego" and "sense of entitlement."

As a woman, I'm ashamed of HRC's tactics FOR my gender.

Even as a woman Officer serving in the NEWLY INTEGRATED military (from the Womens Army Corps) I did NOT EVER feel a need to "swagger like the boys" ... sure I could out run them, in boots :evilgrin: and THAT'S PART OF THE SOLUTION.

HRC is not "all women" and I refuse to play into the fact that she's been "sexually discriminated against."

Her being "a Clinton" with the budding economy of her husband and his Presidency in the recent past TRUMPS her gender.

What's most unfortunate is that HRC (and her surrogates) has falsely played "the gender card" and doing that hurts all career women. :shrug:

Forgive me, but I do not respect those who will "sell their soul" - now playing *the race card* in order further their PERSONAL AMBITIONS.

The numerous SENIOR OFFICERS who were highly respected by both "the troops" and "their superiors" were first and foremost TEAM BUILDERS not "cage fighters."

HRC and her husband needs to "dig deep" and bow out graciously NOW if they wish to recapture the respect of the American People.
