3. Not impressed, and I like Morgan.
I think she's too quick to assume that others found the "Iron my shirt!" incident "amusing." Also, that we don't remember the same things she does. Maybe we do, and we just don't see what they have to do with anyone's political endorsements.

I think she's right about the double-standard stuff. But all the nasty, misogynist crap aimed at Hillary isn't enough to make me vote for her if I don't believe she's the right person for the job. Yes, it's enough to enrage me because it's nasty and misogynist, and to call for it to stop. But it's not enough to make her somehow "deserve" my vote.

And, yes, I am fully capable of deciding her fitness for the job without being influence by the misogynist crap. She doesn't seem to want to give anyone credit for the ability to do that.

Sorry, but I just can't buy this "Either vote for Hillary or you're not a true feminist" line. It's like saying that if you're black you have to vote for Obama or you're not truly black.
